Nola and family, I am sure you don't remember me, I am Bobby Schabers cousin Carolyn Glendenning then. I have a wonderful pic of you and Dana when she was a baby. So cute. I am so sorry for your loss, I am sure he was a wonderful man. Carol Miiller

We knew Dean in high school. He was a good friend. Leon played football with him and said he was the third fastest one on the team. Leon and I dated in high school then lost our spouses three months apart. We have been married 10 years now. We understand what you are going through right now. We are sorry for your loss only time seems to help and prayers. Leon and Fairie Dutton Doughty

What a great guy Dean was. Great welder and someone I worked around for a brief time in my life. Used to look forward to seeing Dean at the Credit Union annual meeting and would look him up to chat. Wish there were more like him.

Nola and Sheila, I am truly sad for your loss. I know Dean was a lucky man to have you two ladies love him. He is now with God and the hard part is not having him around. Remember he always will be in your hearts and he loved you. I sure remember having some fun times at your house...oh my gosh what 30 years ago or more? Where does time go? If you need anything plase just holler. Tiffany Martin (Mrs. Kelly). Take care.

I have not seen Dean since highschool but wanted you to know how nice he was then. He was older than me but was in the same class as my brother Carl Arndt. I am so sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
