Not sure what to say?

I just found out and am saddened to learn of Dean´s passing. I met him when he was a student at N.C. State in the 70´s we were running buddies during those years. We even went out to Los Angeles to paint his brother´s house! We lost touch over the years but, I have always had good memories of those years ! He was a good guy and know his loved ones will miss him. RIP old friend

I was deeply saddened to recently learn about Dean´s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Dean and I worked together in the same office at NGA back in the early '90s. He had a remarkable way of brightening everyone´s day-whether through his witty jokes, quirky nicknames for coworkers, or simply by being a cheerful presence. He made sure everyone had a good day at work!

Worked in our DMAAC group with Dean, Phil, Ed, Priscilla, Dan, and our super John Itschner way back from 1982-85. Had a beer with Dean and Phil before I relocated to Florida and have always remembered Dean's old shoe demeanor. He was one of the good ones and will always be remembered! My condolences!

Just read about the passing of Dean. SYMPATHYS to the whole family. We were friends in high school and worked together flipping burgers. We lost touch in the 80's. He was the best Best man. Dale Kramer

I worked with Dean at NGA. He was a great friend and coworker and one of the most caring people I know. Gid bless and prayers to his family. Musyvremember you have an angel looking out for you now

Dean was a good friend and co-worker to many. He was the type of guy that you always wanted to be around. You will be missed my friend. May God Bless you and your family.

Dean was a great friend and I will miss him. I loved his sense of humor. Dean had a few different nicknames but my favorite was "Otis". I´m sure God left the keys for the golden gate hanging on the wall for you. My thoughts and prayers go to Karen and the kids and the whole Erpenbach family.

RIP buddy. Forever be remembered.

Dean was the kindest and nicest guy I've known. Always smiling and never a bad thing to say about anyone or anything. My heart goes out to the whole family.
