It's been awhile since we lost Dean but his memories linger in our hearts....I just realized he passed just a couple months before my son Dayne. I vision they are up there swapping stories of their car shows and days gone by. RIP Graybeard,,,,we'll see you one day.

I remember "GrayBeard" as one of the nicest people on the planet, his quick wit, great advice on the Z's, caring for others.....and so much more. I have this picture in mind of the motocross in the parking lot at the Colluseum on a 120 degree day, hanky on his head and a spray bottle in his hand, directing drivers when to GO! So many memories! His loss made great impact on all the Z Club membership. I still have my Z...she has only 70+ thousand miles on her, still as beautiful as ever,...

We miss you, "Graybeard." I can see you sitting in the beautiful place you are now, perhaps having a cold one with my son, Dayne, who passed the same year you did, along with Roger and all those members of the Z-Club who have gone before us. One day we will all be happily remembering the good old days of trips and parties. Korky

Kathy,I was sad to read of Dean's passing. He came to mind just last Saturday in Seligman at the Route 66 Fun Run where there were several Z-cars. We worked on many subdivision projects together since the early 70's and I will miss him. He was a good guy. You have my deepest sympathies. May God Bless You.
