James M. Dean Sr.

When Jim arrived at Victor Cullen in 1970 he took me under his wing and as time progressed, allowed me to change shifts to finish college, promoted me several times throughout the ranks and at one time even "developed" a position for me. Then there were the AWOL hunts, (other duties)plowing snow and trips to B'more and Annapolis; as well as being my mentor during an early divorce. I thank you for all of it, and your wife, as well as Mike and "Daisey" need to know that I will never forget....

Mike, Sorry to hear about your dad. Haven't been in touch with each other for a couple decades. We always had a great time at the training school catching turtles and playing music. Ironically my dad also passed on the same day. I will be at his funeral or I would come up to say good bye to your dad. Hopefully they will meet up and do some fishing. I had the ultimate respect for him. Give my regards and share some fun stories of our escapades with your family. I miss you all. I'm in Baltimore...

I haven't seen him in 20 years....but I spent many a day with his son Mike, 4 wheeling, playing music and snake hunting at the Hickey school where they lived. I'll miss you Mr. Dean and regret that you won't get to see the Steelers in the playoffs....

William H Edwards My condolences to the family of Jim Dean

Mr. Dean seemed like a wonderful guy who no doubt lived a very full and happy life. I send my condolences to the family of Mr. Dean. During this sad time I pray that one day again you'll see your beloved father, grandfather, friend, associate, workmate and husband.
