7 th Annual Dewey Day! πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ•―


Today MovieChat again remembers our dear friend, godewey, who left us much too soon six years ago.
godewey (or "Dewey") was a wonderful human being who had quite an impact here from the earliest days of the site, and the many friends he made here brought him a measure of comfort and joy as he battled illness.

For those who never got to know him, just think of the best guy you know. That's Dewey. Intelligent, funny, gracious, irreverent, and extraordinarily generous*. He had a warm and easy rapport with nearly everyone. That's why so many remember him so fondly, and it's why we light the candles every September 16th.

I will be pinning Dewey-related threads to the first page of the General Discussion board throughout the day as our members create them or as they bump up old favorites.

Just for you, Mod5. πŸ˜‰

Dewey is still missed to this day by those who knew him. 😒

Something is wrong mathematically here.

reply

Why, this thread is awesome. Full of people I miss too. :(

reply

It is a testament to the man’s character that so many years after his passing he’s still remembered in the highest regard by those of us who valued his company.

The man was a Prince.

reply

Indeed, he was a good man, and still is in spirit.

It was 7 years ago
We had to let him go
The worst of starts, the broken heart, the stone
Here’s to 7 more I hope
He’d want us to enjoy the show
The mercy part, a brand new start, we are not alone

reply

I think he’d like that!
What a fine fellow, he rescued homeless dogs and gave them a second chance and new homes.

godewey was a world class gent.
His passing broke a lot of hearts.

reply

amazing!

reply

I DID NOT KNOW HIM...BUT I KNOW WE WOULD HAVE GOT ALONG...FULL RESPECT FOR DEWEY.🫑

reply

Same here. I joined about the time he passed away. I do remember the name though. He was a legend.

Signed, million man.

reply

You would have loved him.
You rescue feral cats, he spent his spare time saving feral dogs. that’s something you would have connected over.

He was a loving, decent dude, I’m
Very happy I met him. Great man, our hero.

reply

Wait, is there no other currently alive that exudes the same aura as him? I've never ever seen a forum that exalts just one particular member yearly. If that's the case, must be one of a kind.

reply

HE WAS BELOVED BY ALL AND PASSED AWAY TOO SOON...I ASSUME WHEN I DIE I WILL JOIN HIM IN THE CLOUDS...LION KING STYLE.

reply

No.
No other poster united the board and gave off so much happiness. He was one of a kind, with a heart as big as the Sun.

reply

Yes, our Dewey was one of a kind. His sense of humor really lifted the moods of everyone so very many times.

A favorite exchange of mine:

I laughed so hard I was crying that night. 😭

reply

He must have been something special to make such an impact in a year, or so. No one here will notice when I die, and I've been here 6 years.

Signed, million man.

reply

We'll notice.

reply

I will always remember him for introducing me to the war/spy/Elvis parody comedy 'Top Secret' from 1984. While not having many interactions with him, he seemed like a genuinely sweet man who always took the time to reach out to others, very perceptive of their needs.

Feeling inspired by Stonekeeper's moving poetry above:

A man apart;
Candle on water;
Floating at midnight.

Nature stirs softly,
Awaiting news silent
Of a man.

Nothing more gradient
Or sincerely grand
Than friend's memory.

Just a Man
