Was just thinking about Dean who was my roommate at WSU along with Glynn Dafforn. I had talked to him a couple of years ago and he told me of his heart problems. Was shocked to see of this bad news. I remember Mimi are next door neighbor at Nez Perez at WSU. Was at their Wedding My brother Vince used Dean as his Real Estate Attorney when Dean was in Washington
God Bless Dean and his family

I am so sad to hear about my cherished friend's passing. 44 years we knew each other. Dean was so proud of his children. My heart hurts. We lost a funny, brilliant guy. God Bless Mimi, his mom, siblings, children, family, and friends. I will miss my old friend dearly. So will the Huskies.

I love you Dean.
I miss you so much.
You are, and will forever be my brother that brought so much laughter, knowledge, and love into in my life.
I am waiting impatiently for the day when I feel the warmth of your heart felt hugs and the ache of over the top laughter.
Until then, I love you.
It is so hard to say goodbye,
so I won't.
Your forever sister,
Janice

To Dean's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was Dean's paralegal for 10 years and have some wonderful memories of him. I feel lucky to have known him as a boss, a mentor and a friend. I wish I could be at the memorial service, unfortunately I will be out of town. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.
