Dewey’s Story : His journey began on September 3, 1930 in Sorrento, Florida. He always jokingly told us a $3 dollar baby wouldn’t amount to anything. As a boy he did farm work when he wasn’t attending school. One summer he told us he worked all summer, 3 months, for only 75 cents. Dewey served in the Korean War, he said all they did was run. He met the love of his life in 1948 standing in a cotton field while driving down the road. He married his love, Bettie Mae Jenkins on November 28, 1952. Dewey left the army shortly after. He was tired of the running and decided to come home and start a family. Nine years after marriage; their daughter, Tina, was born. Tina then gave them two granddaughters Josie & Lucy. Josie bringing them a great-grandson, to be born in March 2021 whom he loved already. Dewey worked at the Tractor company after the army. When he saved up enough money to purchase his own piece of equipment Dewey started a business with Amantha Musslewhite. They made their living clearing land all over central Florida. Dewey was also a cowboy, chicken farmer, and heavy equipment mechanic (some might say he was one of the best). Dewey enjoyed people, he never met a stranger. He loved everyone. He never missed an opportunity to tell a story. He could always draw a crowd with his deep, loud voice. Not to mention he could tell the most entertaining stories, and they were mostly true (some were just for laughs)! He was a man of God, and loved his church and enjoyed being a Deacon and spreading the word of Jesus. He was a loving husband, proud father and the best dang Pap around.
