I Miss you Grandpa. My life will never be the same without you. If it were not for you I, We all would not have been here living, surviving, making our lives worth living for, for you. Because of you we are living on. But NEVER moving on the same. For quite awhile now you have been in so much pain. And thanks to God, (HHHY)Heaven Has Healed You. I think of you frequently, everyday. There is and will never be a day that I will stop thinking about how you made it all possible. You are a Worrier. You have been through hell and back as well as live a da*n good life. And you always found ways to get me through the day(s) and keep me going. If I could, I would save your camp you built with your father when you were young Because I know how much it meant/means to you. Unfortunately, we can't. knowing and remembering all the good times both you and him along with us all is all someone needs to hold on to and keep close to their hearts for all of time. [(You would be throwing a ball knowing it has been so many years and now gas prices are under around the $2.00 range)]! "Goobie Goobie, on-no-nay, rumph dumph, star, dot, Com chow" I Love You. Always your granddaughter - Amber

Dean was a classmate fellow band member and fellow skier with exceptional skill in all events. Our rooms were across the hall so we saw a lot of each other what with dorm, band, and ski team activities. I will miss seeing him at reunions. The last was our 50th.
