Something made me think of Dean today. It had to do with a memory of SIU. Dean helped me get a job working for the SIU Arena. We knew each other from Niles East. I will always remember him for that. He was a real nice guy. My heart goes out to his family. May he rest in peace.

Dear Laura,
I often think of Dean, always with a smile. We shared a two week training class together for Sandoz, in MN in February and worked together for many years. It was so many years ago; he was a bright light to all of us when we worked with him and always brought smiles to our tired faces. I am so sorry for your loss, may you have comfort in the wonderful memories. Michele Trumbull Oare (Denver)

I heard the awful news today. Dean was a good friend but I left Skokie when we graduated and seldom went back. I missed him at our 30th reunion. We had lots of laughs together. He was a sweet guy. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Dear Laura and family,
I am so sorry to learn of Dean’s passing. I fondly remember the excitement in you when you first met Dean. I enjoyed listing to your dating stories and watching your relationship grow when we worked together at MCI.
Michele and I have such great memories of your wedding day and your deep love. He will be missed. God Bless

Dear Lustig Family,
I am sure most of you do not know or remember me, but I had met Dean in Jr. High School and we were pretty close way back then. I was terribly saddened when I heard about Dean's passing tonight. Although I have not talked to Dean in quite a long time, all I can remember now is his great big smile and how a room would brighten up when he entered. To his children, please know that your father was a great man - why else would someone like me take the time to write this message after not seeing or talking to your father for probably over 15 years. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Dear Lustig Family,
I knew Dean from grammar school, and since his last name was L-u and I was L-y, Dean sat just in front of me in many of our mutual classes. We used to joke that our initials were the same as well (DL). Though we didn't remain in touch after grammar school, I'll always remember his smile and his fun loving approach to life. May the memories of Dean surround you and comfort you during this very difficult time.

To the entire Lustig family:
We are so very sorry. Even though we've not seen you since the family left Greenleaf Street - we know that Dean must have grown into a wonderful man and his loss is heartrending for all of you. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. And know that, in the future, Dean's children will find comfort in the knowledge that they were deeply loved by their father and he would never have left them voluntarily.
Our deepest condolences.

It was a real shock to hear of Dean's passing. I met a few times with Dean and he was always willing to help and find the time to meet with me when I came to the states. He was a real friend of Israel and I'll miss him much.

Laura - Just got off the phone call that brought the news. May his memory be for a blessing - just as his life was to you. I'll miss him hassling me on the phone over one of the building deals and seeing him at your cousins' house. May you be comforted among all the mourners for Zion and Jerusalem.

I was so saddened to hear the news! When I started working as a young man downtown, Dean was one of those guys who couldn't wait to help and befriend a new guy. I will never forget the kindness he always showed myself and my father. My condolences to Miles and the rest of Dean's family on such a tremendous loss. He will never be replaced by anyone, but his memory will live on for all of u's that knew him.

Dear Laura and the entire Lustig Family,
Although Dean and I went to Niles East together, our true friendship developed over the past 20 years that he and I worked together in the food industry. In my mind, Dean's sense of humor will always be legendary. I will miss him and can't believe he's gone. He was most certainly one of the good guys, filled with passion and support.
With my most sincere condolences,

Dear Laura and Family...
I remember Dean from grade school. What I remember the most is how nice of a guy he was. He was never the bully type, just a really nice guy. I was so saddened to see his passing. Laura, I never knew you were married to Dean, and that your mom used to be my supervisor when we worked at United Equitable. I remember her speaking of you all the time growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your entire family. Liz (Feigen) Swanson
