We are so sorry to hear of your loss. The first image that comes to mind when remembering Dean is a large and welcoming smile. The trips to Mt. Pulaski to visit the Toohey family when in Illinois have always been delightful and Dean certainly helped make sure that was so. Please know that we are thinking of you during this difficult time.
