I grew up with Dean... Classmates through all the years. Fellow classmate Tom Haskell emailed me the Video of sooo many happy times. I loved each and every picture... Happy to see (thanks so much for sharing) and yet tears too. I could see how special his family was to him... I feel so pleased that he had a good life and was loved so much by you all 🙂 Yet... sorry to see him leave us all too soon. Always in our memory. Judy

My deepest condolences on the passing of your husband. What impressedme most about Dean was his effervescent humor, his love of lifr, and his concise way of saying things.
