Dean dean dean. Dean when I think of him now I hear his voice saying,” you doing alright today, is everything alright, how is the family doing, how’s mike(another fellow Pepsi man)” dean was kind hearted so humble. No matter how your day was going when you seen dean he would greet you and in his presence that moment. Him checking on you and talking to you, Wether it was personal, sports or business. He left you with a since of comfort made you change your attitude that day if you were having a bad one. The store currently and will never be the same when I enter now. But I still feel his presence when I’m in there. You will be missed and GOD rest his soul. At least the dolphins played a great game this past Sunday. In memory of DEAN

Like everyone else, we loved Dean. We knew him all the years he worked at the Food Lion in Portsmouth and considered him a true friend. My husband has many health issues and I never went in the store that Dean didn't ask about him. When Jimmy could get to the store, he and Dean had so much to talk about. We have missed him terribly since his move. That store will never be the same. Dean made it a warm and friendly place because he truly cared about people. Please accept our prayers as you go through this time of sadness. I'm sure many people are holding you close in thoughts and prayers.

Dean was an amazing person. There was never a day that we saw him and he wasn't smiling. It didn't matter what kind of mood you were in you would always leave with smile after a conversation with Dean. He always talked about his wife and daughter and how much he loved them. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.

I worked with Dean at Food Lion on Portsmouth Blvd. I was his dairy helper and we were good friends at work. I would always stop in to visit him for the last 20 years to say Hello and catch up. He was always a pleasant friend and good laughs! The family are in my prayers! There are a LOT of customers that will miss him. Rest In Peace Dean.

Sorry to read about Dean’s sudden passing! It pains my heart to know of your loss. We knew Dean from shopping at the Food Lion in Portsmouth for many years! He would always take time out to chat with us. He always had a smile on his face. We hated to see him transfer to Virginia Beach! James and Terry Lee
