Dean Everett Salmon

I had the pleasure of working at the Mountain Bell with Dean and with Ross. Dean a favorite engineer and I enjoyed working with him very much. I am very sad to hear of his passing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Becky (Martin) Muir

I am sorry to learn of Dean's passing. He was a good guy. I worked with him in the OSP Engineering group in Salt Lake. As en example of his concern and dedication, I've always remembered his comments after we re-organized and assigned the Engineers' responsibility for the exchanges where they lived, i.e. Bountiful for Dean. He said "I can't even enjoy the drive to church anymore without looking at and worrying about every telephone facility along the way..."
On my desk, I still have...

We were so sorry to hear of Uncle Dean's passing. Our sincere sympathy and condolences to the entire family. We know that this is such a hard time for everyone and also know that you will all have wonderful memories to share for many years. Uncle Dean was quite a guy!

dear dad I love you so very much. I am glad God is holding on to you as I hold on to him. I wish I had found more time for you. I will see you when i get home.
LOVE ALWAYS MICHAEL JACKSON

My condolences go to his family and especially to his sister Irene and brother Orville at this time. Sincerely, Kathryn MacKay Jones

I knew Dean at Wasatch Elementary, Bryant Jr., East High and in the Engineering Department at Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company. Early on I was afraid of him, he was tough. What ever negatives I had about him were dispelled when we worked together at the Telephone Company. I have held him in the highest regard since, and although it has been a long time, I share your loss. In my opinion he was as good as one gets. My deepest sympathy to his family.
