Dean was my neighbor and friend. I was 15 when he moved in around the corner from me. He would always get up out of his front porch chair to say hello and shake my hand whenever he saw me. This happened for many years, even when I returned home after a long time away. He was his own person and proud of it. He didn't care if someone didn't like him, just accepted it. We shared the love of music, and it was our conversation topic. RIP Dean! I'll see you when it's my time.

I will miss him so much, he made my life at work so much better when he was here and I will miss him dropping by from time to time to see me. My heart and prayers are with all his family and friends and especially with his best friend and wife Gail.
