Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 5, at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, with the Rev. Thomas Zinkula officiating.

Friends may call from 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at Leonard Funeral Home & Crematory, 2595 Rockdale Road, where there will be a wake service at 7:30 p.m.
He was born on March 21, 1927, in Dubuque, son of Nicholas and Della (Freeze) Hingtgen. He married Betty Wagner on June 24, 1950, at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, Dubuque.
Dewey enlisted in the Army in 1945 and was a veteran of World War II.
He worked at Farley Loetscher Manufacturing Company in Dubuque from 1943 to 1960. In 1960, Dewey began working at John Deere Dubuque Works, until his retirement in 1987. He also managed the bar at Creslanes Bowling Alley from 1960 until 1987.

He began the tradition of lining the streets of Oak Crest Drive with luminaries during the Christmas season.
