DONALD R. DEAN

Blessings to the family . Don Dean was our neighbor and realtor at Canadian Lakes. We now live in Bradenton FL. From, Terrence and Bonnie Slaybaugh

Don Dean was an old friend of both my husband and myself. I stood up with Donna when they married so always felt close to both of them. Don and Donna and I stayed in touch with e-mails for years. We will miss knowing Don is up in Canadian Lakes and will always miss his sense of humor.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Donna, and everyone who loved him.

Donna: We are so sorry to hear about Don's passing. What a lovely man! He helped us out so much with the sales of our bird feeders and became a dear friend over the years. Our sincere sympathy to you and your family.?

Donna, you know that I have always thought of Don as my 2nd Dad and I will miss him so much. I have so many happy memories of our trip to Germany in 2007, all the Holidays spent together, the pontoon boat ride and picnic last Summer on your lake, asking him for advice when buying my condo here in Grand Rapids. He had such a calming nature about him and was so nurturing to all. I loved the fact that he was always the "more the merrier" kind of person. He was an amazing man and loved by all....

As the assessor for Morton Township, I enjoyed the contact I had with Don and found him to be a pleasant and very nice man. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
