We just learned about Dick's passing from a friend in Hamburg. The elder members of our family are slowly dwindling. Now he will be reunited with our beloved Norma.

Just heard about your Dads passing. Our prayers are with you all and hope you are doing ok. We are in Florida for the winter. It has been a long time since we say your Mom and Dad. It was at the family reunion at our house in Lockport. Sister-in-law Hazel said Rich looked like Mitch Miller.Hope all our prayers will ease your heartaches. Ellie Domnick Klem

We ask the Lord's support and peace for all of the Dean family as they deal with Papa Rich's passing. We have many fond memories of him, especially in the snack bar at Dunkirk Family Camp. Take comfort in knowing he is in the arms of the Lord, reunited with Norma, and free of the pains and cares of the world.
Peace
