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.
