Condolence: Dear Mrs. Phelps, We will cherish the memories of Dewey and his wonderful wit. He brought joy to every conversation and consistently displayed the love and grace of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Post family

Condolence: Dear Carol and family, Dewey’s upbeat outlook was an inspiration and it was such a pleasure knowing him over the years in TATC. He will be remembered fondly for his kindness and wonderful sense of humor. We hope you find comfort in your memories of him. God bless you all. Happy hiking Dewey! Ann and Tim Smith

Condolence: What a fun and kind man Dewey was.I must say our golden retriever Lady really love visiting with Dewey and Carolyn at the dog park. Sure will miss his great smile.We are here if you need us Carolyn and come by whenever you like to see Lacy.Our thoughts are with you

Condolence: Dear Carol, I was really heart-broken to hear that my hiking and canoeing pardner in years past, had gone home to the Lord. I love Dewey like a brother. I know that he is just talking the head off of Jesus. I can still see his wonderful smile and hear his joyest laughter. He was a true friend and lover of people. I would venture to say no one he ever met, went away disliking him. I will miss him and I look forward to seeing him again once I cross over to Jesus' side of eternity. My prayer is for Jesus to wrap His ever loving arms about you and give you peace in this your time of mourning. Your servant in Christ Larry Blett

Condolence: A kind and gentle man whose smile and glint in his eye always made us smile. We will miss his generosity, wonderful stories, deep faith in God and dear friendship. Rest in peace Dewey. We are all better people for having had you as part of our life. Carol, Dara and all the family: may your thoughts of Dewey always bring comfort, smiles and wonderful memories to each of you. Love, Marti and Ellis

Condolence: Thank you so much for sharing such a special part of your family with me. You and Dewy and Dara have touched my life in ways that are unmeasurable. Thank you for sharing your memories.

Condolence: Mr. Phelps has been the best neighbor a family could ever have! He and his sweet wife were and are full of smiles, concern, and care for everyone in their sphere. Memories of Mr. Phelps will always make us happy. His fascinating stories of life in the Coast Guard inspecting international ships, his jovial banter with our special needs son, his love for God's creation, even his bike that would sail past our house with a friendly wave...all sweet memories of a man who loved his God, his family, and his friends. Thank you for your lasting testimony, Mr. Phelps! We love you!

Condolence: Dewey was as good a man as he could be. He always had an appreciative remark for anyone, and never spoke ill of anyone. His face always seemed to have a welcoming grin, and you knew that he'd do what he could to get smile on your face. He was eager to do whatever he could-- whether helping Bruce with making breakfast for the group at False Cape or at any TATC trail event.

Condolence: Carol, I have so many fond memories of Dewey with TATC and the Tuesday Group. He always had a big grin and a good word for everyone. He was ready to help with any trail project-big or small. And back at camp he was first to volunteer with the clean up as well. His boundless enthusiasm and energy were only matched by the size of his heart and the width of his smile. And boy could he tell some funny stories! Our lives are a little less colorful with Dewey gone. But I know that he and Jonah are walking some tree lined path right now sharing a milkbone or two... My love to you. Phyllis

Condolence: To the Phelps family: Although Lesa and I did not know him, we have the pleasure to being close with his son, Leonard here in Nashville. If father like son, he was a great man. Our condolences to your family during this grieving time. Thoughts and prayers with you, Bob,Lesa, Jessica and Sarah Skoney

Condolence: Carol, we have loss our friend Dewey and now he has gone to walk the trails with the LORD and there want be any Trail Maintenance ever again for HIM. Dewey will always be remember by TATC because of that GREAT SMILE he had and all the hard work he did for the club. He was number one in my book and my best friend with TATC and NEVER had a bad word for anyone, he will be so missed. We at False Cape St. Pk. will miss him greatly.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have many fond memories of Mr. Phelps. I think the thing I will always remember most about him was his infectious smile. I don't remember ever seeing him without a smile on his face! I remember his quick wit and sense of humor. I remember when he owned Anchor printing working for him at the house, we thought it was the best job in the world! I remember him often walking the dogs, he so loved the outdoors. I don't remember him ever saying no. Whatever new animals showed up at the house or whatever was in the incubator, he just went right along with it. I never heard him say a cross word and he always set a Godly example. I'm sure he's walking the streets of gold and that smile is bigger than ever! Love you guys!!
