He was a member of the Iowa Pork Producers, was a 4-H leader and was on church council, where he also served as treasurer. Farming was the staple of Dewey’s life but above all, his family and spending time with them was the most important thing to him; his grandchildren especially! He was known as “Papa” to not only his grandchildren, but to many other children who knew him.

On the Thursday night before his passing, the family was able to spend one last night having a family meal, and his family and grandchildren got in their last big hugs from “Papa”. Dewey was a selfless man, putting everyone before himself and will be missed dearly by his family and friends he leaves behind. Dewey is survived by his wife of 54 years, Carol, of Dike; daughter Wendy (Robert) Clauson of Highlands Ranch, CO, Jerry (Jody) Schipper & Jean (Tony) Bixby, both of Dike; grandchildren Chloe, Ella & Ava Schipper and Brock Bixby, all of Dike; siblings Dennis (Sharon) Schipper of Parkersburg, IA and Elaine (John) Kiger of Benson, MN; many nieces and nephews.
