Please accept my belated condolences. I just learned from a colleague at 1200 that Dean passed away. I first met Deano in 1981 when we were both 1Ls at Wayne State Law School. We had a lot of laughs together back in those days and, ever since, I always looked forward to running into him at 1200. People seemed to be drawn to him because he always had a hilarious story and wry remark. Many times I had to wait in line to talk to him. He was a one-of-a-kind. He will be missed by me and many...

So sorry to hear of Dean's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his Family and Friends. He was a great attorney and person. We met when I did some overflow work for Ivan, years ago. He was so gracious with his time and knowledge and helped me brainstorm through a few legal questions years after. His perspectives, sense of humor and laughter will be truly missed.

When Dean and you came to Tommy 5th birthday the bond between Dean and Tommy began and still was strong to the end R.I.P. Dean you will always be in our hearts and memories.
