Wallace Lee Dean Sr.

When this Texas girl traveled to California for the first time it it was to visit the CA side of my future fiancee/husband. Stories of you and your adventures had paved the way for my first impression of the man I came to know as Uncle Wally. I soon saw that you were all of the great things I had heard and much more. Your willingness to share home and hearth with our happy band of Texas travelers impressed me in so many ways. You were always gracious, fun to be around, full of stories and...

I will miss Wally. He had such a generous and kind spirit. If it was not for Wally I would not have become a stewardess. Thank you, Wally. My prayers and thoughts go to his family. He was a gift to all of us.

Great memories of flying with Wally out of Miami. He was a wonderful guy and will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Wally was one of the good guys. He would even give a landing to a Babygator(new navigator) if you didn't miss Hawaii.

My Uncle Wally was one of the great men of my life. He was a man's man who showed me that I could do whatever I prepared myself to do. His global exploits led me to believe I was not bound to the area in which I was raised, but rather showed me I could go anywhere and do anything. Life is an adventure, and because of him I felt I could drink in the goodness of life, wherever it may be.

So long Wally! You will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Wally's family.
I cherish his book.

WALLY IS ANOTHER GREAT LOSS TO THE
PAN AM FAMILY AS WE HAD KNOWN IT.
