I had just gotten to know Dean this last year, through his volunteering with Futurewise Whatcom. Dean was always willing to dig in and do the work necessary to get a job done, and his quick smile and wit were a welcome addition to any meeting or occasion. What a treasure our community has lost. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. May your memories of his love and laughter begin to heal the sorrow of losing him.

Holding thoughts of love and peace for you, Carol, and the girls. What a wonderful all-around guy. Just not fair. He'll be missed and remembered, and so his spirit will live on in each of us.

Words cannot express how sad I was to hear this news. The world is diminished by Dean's passing. The Clifford Family's thoughts and prayers are with you, Carol. Just yesterday, I put the angel ornament you gave me long ago on my tree. Seems fitting I had thoughts of you and our new angel on this day. Blessings to you and your girls.

Dean was my boss when he worked for the MO DNR as the Soil Survey Program Manager. I was shocked when I learned of his passing. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Carol, Calla, and Nat, I can't even imagine what you all are going through but I wish I could take it all and make it go away, for even a day. Dean Dear had such a presence that he'll be missed every where he went..
Linda, and Sparkle too.

Dean was a soft-spoken and humorous man who was always willing to give of himself in any way possible. I will miss seeing him and talking to him.

Carol and girls: We were so shocked to learn of Dean's death---it does not still seem real. You 3 have been in our prayers ever since Priscilla told us and then saw the write up in our old JC MO newspaper.
