Our prayers are with the family. May God bless each of them.
Just reading about Dewey. Did not know until now. So very sorry to hear. I worked right around the wall from Dewey at Polk Youth Center in Raleigh years ago. Did not know that Bill Creech was his brother. Bill hired me back in the late 60’s in Enterprise Accounting Department. Several times while working at Polk , i helped out with part of his job when he was like on vacation or sick, although don’t remember him ever being sick. He was one of the finest employees Polk Youth Center had. He was quiet, gave no problems and always courteous. My sympathy goes out to all his family, especially son and daughter and brothers and sisters. Hate i knew nothing about this,. Would certainly have paid my respects to such a fine gentleman.
