Having experienced Deans' conscientious work efforts as a resident at Flint it was apparent to me that one would should emulate his attitude & behavior, I tried.
He was always a straight arrow.
Vayo con Dios Dean you deserve our respect & blessings.

Dean was one of my best friends and a great bridge partner in KCOS. He was gentle and kind and always well thought of, and I'm sure he must have been a wonderful doc.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear of his passing. I remember his parents from a brief occasion in 1953 as well.

My condolences to his friends and family.

Most sincerely,

Ralph C. Merwin, D.O.

The memories of Dr. Goblirsch stem from when I was the Medical Staff Coordinator at Lakeview Hospital to the present. He was not only a well established ENT, but also a friend for the past 25 years. My heart is broken for his family. Lee keep his memory with you, laugh, smile and cry when you think of him. Share stories and know that others do care.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad so well as such a sweet man, who always made me feel so comfortable in your house. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dad was a great man. A wonderful father and a talented physician who at the end said he wanted no accolades about his professional life. We love him very much and he will be sorely missed.
