Please accept my thoughts and prayers to you all at this time of loss. Dean and I were very good friends in and out of school. We lived on the same street ( Maywood) four houses apart.

He was very smart and giving, (he would always share his lunch) and all that were around him got to enjoy his...

Thank you for everything that you did for our children. I am not sure we would have survived the infant stages without you. You were the most amazing, caring, loving and supportive doctor we have ever met. You and Jayne were like family to us and we are going to miss you tremendously. This is a huge loss to everyone that knew him. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences to Jayne, his family, colleagues and friends. We are grieving with you.
