Dean Matthew Glosson, age 65, of Johnsburg, died Monday, May 13, 2013, at Centegra Hospital-McHenry.

He was born August 31, 1947 in Woodstock to William D. and Lillian (Douglas) Glosson. A resident of McHenry County for most of his lifetime, Dean lived in Johnsburg since 1989. He married Frances Sullivan on June 26, 1970 at St. John Fisher Catholic Church in Chicago.

He began a career in the construction industry as a laborer, and later owned his own construction company. His company specialized in distinctive and beautiful single-residential dwellings. A jack of all trades, he was a skilled carpenter and cement finisher.

Dean was an avid runner. He participated in Toastmasters for many years, where he served as Governor. He was active in the community, and was a recent member of the Sunrise Rotary Club. Most importantly, his family always came first.
