Mr. Deese will be missed by many. My daughter always said he was the nicest teacher she ever had. He was always nice to me and would stop and tell me how much he appreciated my hard work in the neighborhood. I want the family to know if I can ever do anything for them don't hesitate to ask. Dan Wallace and family.
