Recently, the Utica College Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity began planning for a reunion of our colleagues who graduated Utica College dating back to the late 60s. I just learned of Dean's passing, and am saddened by the news. I attended UC during the same timeframe as Dean, and we were both in TKE during that time. We had a lot of fun times and played music together. He was a very smart guy, articulate and kind. He will be greatly missed.

Kim,
I'm so sorry to hear of Dean's passing. I really enjoyed the good times we had at the Sandbar in Canandaigua. He was such a fun guy to be around. I'll always keep those memories with me.

Many years ago (1974), my sister and Dean performed in "Kiss Me Kate" together in high school. I had the pleasure of doing his make-up. We found out that he and his family stayed at Camp of the Woods, Speculator, NY, in the summer, a resort across the lake from our summer home. That summer, we sat in the middle of Lake Pleasant in our motorboat and watched Forth of July fireworks. A fond memory.
My condolences.

God bless you and your family.

Kim,
I am so sorry to hear about Dean. Words are so inadequate at times like this. Memories are all we have. We have to hold on to the good ones, and try to carry on, because we have no choice. I hope you find some comfort in the fact that you have family and friends that are there for you and love you very much.
