Dear Mary, How well I remember Dean from his LWHS days. My husband, Jerry Maglio, followed him as band director and always had such wonderful things to say about Dean and his contribution to the school music program. Of course, your family (including Banilla) were a vital part of our association with First Presbyterian Church.
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your
family.

Dear Mary and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dean's passing. You and your family have meant so much to us over the years. You inspired me in so many ways and I have always looked up to you and Dean, especially when you were in Ocala and all the visits to Montreat. May God bless you and give you peace at this time. I love you all.
