On July 17, 1949, he married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Carol Joy Cole. It was said the marriage wouldn't last: they were married for 72 years.  To this union five children were born Susan Kay, Dale Ann, Judy Ruth, Terry Reed and James Alan.

Dewey and Carol moved to Liberal in 1951.  He worked construction build in the Northern Natural plants in Liberal and Hugoton, Kansas.  He signed on with Northern Natural in 1952.  In 1959 he moved his family to Hugoton to be closer to work.  He retired from Northern Natural in 1986.

Dewey was a man who knew no stranger. Everywhere he went he would make a new friend.
