I worked with Deen many moons ago. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. As some have mentioned, I am sure he is telling stories and making people laugh in heaven! He was always looking for the positive in any situation and was a good guy to work with..
With Sympathy,

To Erin and her family - I am so sorry for your loss. I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. From what I have read about your Dad, he brought so much joy and laughter into your life and I am sure so much more! I truly believe that even though he isn't with you in person, that he is definitely with you in spirit and he will show himself all around you. Remember the good times and all the love he shared! Those memories will always be with you.

The Blash and Wojton families visited many times when I was a kid. I remember the twins. In fact Nellie had her twins in 45 and Sophie had hers in 46. I was going through some old photos just the other day and there was one of Karen, Larry, Derek and Deen along with your folks at my moms. Not sure if you remember the Wojton family but we remember you. My deepest condolances to the family. Fran (wojton) Hoover

We were shocked to hear of Deen's passing. We know he is in heaven laughing and joking with the Master. He probably gave him some good receipes to try
Will truly be missed. The Miott's

Sympathies to the Blash family. Deen & Derek lived 1/2 mile away when we were children on Saunders Station Rd., and we were playmates at 5 years old. Rest in Peace, Deen.
