Dwane
Lester Decker, born January 16, 1927, passed into heaven on December
29, 2001,
and was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, leaving his devoted
wife of
55 years, Verma (Jackie) Decker and loving children Dianna
(Decker)Gustafson,
Kenneth, Stephen, Gerald, William, Ronald, and James and ten
grandchildren,
Dewey joins his parents, Eva Loewen and Herman Decker and brothers
Allen and
Arlo Dean. He is survived by sisters:
Mary Anne Smith, Betty Painter, and Judy Jones.
A
memorial service was held
Dewey had
a quick intellect, constantly read to improve his mind and was able to
master
most subjects he approached. He had a
deep understanding and love of all living things. He
particularly enjoyed watching the birds,
gardening, and tinkering with automobiles or any internal combustion
engine. He was an avid believer in
education and
devoted his life to ensuring his children would have a fuller life than
himself. He and Jackie toured the
country for 5 years and made friends at each and every stop. Dewey always had a conversation ready for
everyone he met.
Dewey was
proud to have served in World War II as a paratrooper in the 11th
Airborne Division. He educated himself
in electronics and eventually became Field Supervisor for the FAA at
Detroit
Metropolitan airport. He was also
self-educated in many subjects including computers, the stock market,
and
medical self-diagnosis.
The
measure of a man is taken by the appreciation his children have for the
guidance he gave. We all attest that Dad
always strove for the best for us and his measure is the fullest.
