Dean was my husband's and my dear friend and neighbor for many years.
Dean would stop by and visit quite often and we always enjoyed that. We had great conversations and agreed so much of the time about many things. I truly missed Dean when he wasn't up to calling or even texting these last weeks. I will truly miss my "favorite " neighbor and friend forever. My heart goes out to the family, but we are all glad that the suffering is finally over and he's resting now.
Sincerely, Nina
