Dear Mike and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss, you are in my prayers. Your Dad was a wonderful neighbor, even though we moved away many yrs ago we all remember your Dad with fond memories. Your door was always open and your Mom and Dad were always there when a neighbor was in need. God rest his soul.

Mike and Family,
So sorry for you loss, Mr Deane was a great guy. Always a wave and a horn honk as he passed my parents house. I enjoyed being at parties with him and Mrs Deane and the stories. I will be keeping you all in my prayers,

It saddens me to hear of Uncle Don's passing. Aunt Sue and Uncle Don were very dear friends to my family, especially my mom. I will miss him at all of our family gatherings. Rest in peace Uncle Don.

Uncle Don, you have brought so many smiles to my face that I find it impossible to count. From your visits to my house for parties (some of which you had to be driven back around the corner haha) to your card games, to the "bottomless beer" when we would visit you. It comforts me to know that you are now with Aunt Sue, my grandparents and my father, along with your family and friends, and I'm sure you are sitting at the table with a beer. Godspeed Uncle Don! Thank you for your generosity, friendship and the fun throughout the years. You will be deeply missed and we will see you soon!

I am so sorry for your loss.
I remember being a kid and having lunch with Mr. & Mrs. Dean,and listening to them tell me stories about my aunts and uncles when they were little. Thank you for those memories, Mr. Dean.

Sorry for your lost. Mr. Don was the kindest and friendliest neighbor we could have ever asked for. Mr. Don had a great sense of humor and the most wise man we have ever had the priviledge of knowing. He will greatly be missed, and always be remembered for the great man he was.
