My heart felt condolences go out to the whole Dean family, with sincere passion to Carol, Hank jr, Steve, Lynn and Jesse.
All of you have been very, very good friends of mine for a long, long time. When I would go to your house, I always felt the "Closeness" of how a genuine family worked.
May Henry sr. "Rest In Peace"
