I remember you, Mr. DeWire. You were my Physics and Advanced Chemistry teacher my senior year of HS. You played Christmas music year-round, and you were an awesome teacher, and a very kind man with a big heart. Actually, you passed a few days after the 4th of July. I prayed so hard for you, and cried even harder at your passing. I’ll see you again in heaven one day. God bless you, your wife, Emily, and your three children, one of whom is already with you. You will always be amazing, and I will never stop praying for your peaceful repose and joyful eternity.
