I knew Mr. Fetterhoff through his lovely daughter, Donna. She and I went to Millersville together and have remained friend since Graduation. I really got to know Mr. Fetterhoff because he had the best damn Pizza in Town, on the corner of Chestnut and Mulberry in Lancaster. We had a lot of fun, and sometimes not so much fun (LOL) in the shop. Every time I pass that intersection I think of the fun time we had in that shop waiting for a pizza and listening to him. Ah, part of my "good ole days". To Donna and Dwight and the rest of the family, may I extend my sincere condolences in your loss. Dwight Sr. had two great kids and I know that they have very fond memories. I will be thinking about the family on Monday. My prayers will be with you all.

Please accept my sincere sympathy as you grieve the loss of a true gentleman, Dwight.
I’m a member of St Peter Parish in Elizabethtown and I would bring the Eucharist to Dwight on Sunday’s.
He would tell me about American Stores and his favorite fishing holes.
I last saw him on March 27th. He was waiting for his son to come and bring him his favorite weekly beverage.
My life is richer for knowing Dwight. I will miss the twinkle in his eye!
