Emilie, I extend my sympathy to you in the death of your husband. I regret that I did not know him. I was part of the NAJAC convention in Ohio in 1956 and remember working with you at that event. My prayers for your comfort and peace.

Each of us in the OCC's Asset Management Group extend our heartfelt sympathies to Dean's family.

Dean was a friend and mentor to many at the OCC, particularly the OCC's trust examiners and lawyers who worked with Dean's "Part 9" on a daily basis. We all continue to be amazed that the regulatory structure Dean built in the early '60s continues to reflect the core principles upon which most bank trust departments operate. While Dean's contributions will be remembered by his OCC colleagues, even more importantly, the tens of millions of investors who benefit from the protections Dean built into the fiduciary regulations continue to be protected by his work and ideas.

Dean taught us all many things: technical knowledge; the rule of reason; and most importantly, the importance of humor at work and in life. We miss him. Joel
