Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers go out to Julie and family as you go through this very difficult time. I remember Dean's sweet face when I taught him in fifth grade at Our Lady of Lourdes. His smile and kindness made him one of my favorite students. It is always wonderful for teachers see their students succeed and he most certainly did that. He left a legacy to be proud of. God be with you, Julie, and boys. May he rest in peace.

RIP Chef Corbett! As an honored guest at your restaurant, alongside dear friends, we celebrated the last of my radiation treatments. Your kind, generous, warm spirit permeated the dining room. I will never forget that evening. You will be missed, Chef. My thoughts and prayers are extended to your family and your many friends. May you remain a sweet memory in their hearts and in the comfort of others. God Speed, Deano.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Know our thoughts & prayers go out to the whole family. He was a great man who accomplished so much.
We are wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days & loving memories to forever hold in your heart.

He will be missed.

To all of Deano's family, we knew him for over 30 years, watching him build his business and work like a demon. He had a huge heart and was always good to us. Sedat and I are out of town until Saturday and will not be able to attend his services. Please know we are there in spirit and prayer. He was our friend and our landlord and no one will ever be able to compare to him. We will miss seeing him, especially when he was out blowing off the front doors and driveway before the restaurant...

Sincere sympathies to the family, former culinary Intern
