I met Dean on March 3, 1984 when he picked me at CLT airport, 27 years ago. He was the man that walked me down on my wedding day. He was a humble man with a big heart. He loved my kids from birth and helped to raise them. I remembered him cutting his grass on the riding lawn mower and working on his garden. Those are the memories I will keep with me forever. May your soul rest in peace.
