Pagbabalik-tanaw ni Joel, "Oh Dwight, the umbilical cord has been cut.

"After more than 50 Years of friendship, from the first play we co-directed through the Maskara Theater years, the Los Curachas, the Yamuhat Festivals, from Oro, Plata, Mata to Amigo, those creative times and laughter was at its best."

Kuwento pa ng award-winning actor na si Joel, kahit na may dinaramdam ay hindi nagpatinag si Dwight na pasayahin ang mga taong nakapaligid dito.

Bentang-benta raw kay Joel ang sense of humor ni Dwight na tiyak na mami-miss niya sa aktor.

Lahad ni Joel: "Even the time you knew of your last few days, your incredible humor was still on full display.

"At my lowest time you said it best, ‘this too shall pass.’ How I wish I could say the same farewell thee my dearest friend.

"As in Black Comedy, they say, ‘the bigger the laughter, the deeper the pain.’ '

"The last time I visited you we laughed so hard, I had to leave for you to rest.

"And as I cry, that laughter lingers for I know that umbilical cord of ours shall always be there."

Habang isinusulat ang artikulong ito ay wala pang inilalabas na pahayag ang pamilyang naulila ni Dwight tungkol sa dahilan ng pagpanaw ng beteranong aktor.
