Harold "Dean" Mustard Sr.

Harold "Dean" MUSTARD, Sr. Age 67 of Edmonds passed on to glory Saturday, September 4, 2004. He was a wonderful and much loved man who was always a faithful, devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. Despite his own numerous health challenges through the years Dean always put the needs of others ahead of himself. He was an inspiration and example to all that knew him. He expressed his love to his family, friends and business associates not necessarily through his words but always by his deeds, actions and his shining example in which he lived his life. It is not an exaggeration to say that Dean accomplished more in his short 67 years than most men might in ten lifetimes. He touched many people in his lifetime and his passing has left a tremendous void in so many hearts. When he wasn't busy running his successful business or remodeling his home many times over, Dean enjoyed the great outdoors, camping and fishing. Born in North Platte, Nebraska on December 3, 1936. Dean was married in Yuma, Arizona in 1956 to his loving wife of 48 years Diana. He is survived by his wife, Diana of Edmonds, his sons and their wives, Dean, Jr. and Cheryl of Lynnwood, Tim and Karen of Edmonds and Rick and Kim of Mt. Vernon, 8 grandchildren, Deanna, Jessica, T.J., Brent, Joshua, Joey, Nathan and Melissa, 1 great-grandchild, Lilian as well as a brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Larry and Kathy Cox of Edmonds and Dalene Smith of Sequim and several nieces and nephews. As the owner of South County Plumbing, Dean worked endlessly for 34 years establishing an honest and respected business. Rest in peace Dean, "Pops". The Lord knows you've earned it! Memorial Services will be held Saturday, September 11, 2004 at 12:00 Noon in the Chapel of Evergreen-Washelli Funeral Home.
