Gus and Pam,

I worked with Dean at the City of Hialeah (I am an Assistant City Attorney) and got to know him for the wonderful, loving man that he was. His death deeply saddened me, and I cannot begin to imagine the grief you and those closest to him are experiencing. Dean was such a genuine person, a rarity in this day and age. I will never forget him and I know that he is in a better place. May God bless you and your family.

Gus and Pam,
I am sorry to hear about Dean. All I can think about are all the fond memories from our camping trips. Whether our tent was getting flooded by rain or there was perfect weather, he was always having a blast. Those memories will not be forgotten. My condolences and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hatzis:

I have never had the pleasure of making your aquaintance however our sons attended Trumbull High School together. My son, Eric Brainsky, and I spoke this evening for quite some time about Dean. I felt compelled to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones during this most horrific time. May G-d Bless You with the strength to endure. I hold you in my heart.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hatzis,

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved son. We graduated from Trumbull High School together and what I will remember most about Dean is the big smile he seemed to always have on his face. He was a wonderful, kind and talented individual and will be missed by everyone who was fortunate to have had him in his/her life.

Gus and Pam,
I always remember Dean for that youthful energy and the friendship he shared with our son Greg.
It seems these kids were always together over your house or mine. I will always remember that boat ride to see the New York City fireworks. Wouldn't you know the boat breaks down and it starts to rain. What an adventure! We will always have a place in our hearts for Dean. We will all miss him.
