Dwight taught me just about everything I know when it comes to being a trim carpenter. He was damn good at what he did. He also taught me a lot about being a genuine in business and life. Whether he was right or wrong when it came to various things, he always let Laverne get the last word. I d give him a hard time about it and he d chuckle and say when you´ve been married as long as I have you always let your wife win. Hopefully we all can be as lucky as he was to be with one your love for all those years and to be able to stay at home up until the very last couple days of his life. Rest in peace, Mr. Curry.
