Richard Dean

Can´t believe it´s been five years already. Think of you often with fond memories. Catherine

It is hard to believe that 5 years have come and gone since Richard Dean left us. He continues to be a friend and comfort to all who knew him. It was a privilege to know him for so many years, because he always could be counted on to say and do something that lifted one's spirit. He made every moment with him an adventure and also something to learn from. All who knew him remember him dearly.

Hello to Richard's family. I just happened upon his obituary and I'm sorry for you loss. I had the pleasure of being a roommate of Richard's in Hawaii, in 1974-75. We shared a house in Kahala. I remember trying to glean some of his wine expertise even at that early stage of his career, as well as having fun times at the Kahala house. I had no doubt even then that he'd have a wonderful, successful career in a field that he truly loved. Again, my sympathies. John H.

He was a very nice and fun person . My husband and I both know him from the hotels in Hawaii. We had many fun nites together partying back in the day.
My condolences to his ohana , deeply sorry for their loss.. Aloha

Richard will always be remembered as a kind and funny person. I had great lovely times working with him at The Mark and I learnt a lot about wines from him.
May your Soul rest in Peace!

Richard, we worked together at the Third Floor for many years and laughed together for many years. You were one of the reasons it was a pleasure to go to work. We had so many good times I'll never forget. Somehow lost track of each other after Bill was transferred to SF. After many years you found us and happily you were the same old Richard. Fun to be around! Your humor, generousity, and kindness never left you. I will miss you my dear friend. Hope your having a taste with Siggy and...

Richard was one of my very best friends. We were roommates at 21 years old in Honolulu for 5 years and both got into wine at the same time. He and I sat the Master Sommelier exam together in London in 1973. He and I saw each other every year after that and I will miss him terribly. He was such a caring friend.

Richard was a gentleman and a true professional. It was an honor the few times I was able to work with him. Prayers for his family and friends.

Richard always made my day. What a great and fun man he was to be around. We spend many years together at the Mark Hotel.
R.I.P. my friend.
