Went to a Gun Show last weekend. Walking past the tables, I was reminded of stopping at Dean's tables to BS, buy, and trade. Last time I saw Him was at His house. We traded my Contender .45 LC/.410 barrel for His .218 barrel. An enjoyable, yet sad visit due to His health. I miss Dean and think of Him often.

Dean was a good friend to my father Larry Calderone. When my mom passed away and my dad was feeling lost, Dean checked in on him and included him in get togethers with other friends and activities. When my father was ill, Dean visited him regularly until he passed. I will never forget how gracious Dean was to my father. He made a difference when it counted. May God bless Dean.
