Dean W. Sydlewski

Dear Judy, I just want you to know that you and your family are still in my thoughts, heart and prayers. God bless and keep you close.

I had the opportunity to get know Dean while playing chess at the Southwest Chess Club. Through our many conversations over the chess board and off of the chess board I found out how much of great guy he was. I will miss our conversations before our nightly games but I truly know he is in a better place know! Rest in Peace Dean.

Like John and Scott, I was lucky enough to be stationed with Dean in Germany and Korea (83-88). Without mincing words, Dean was a great person, one I was glad to be able to call a friend. It truly makes me sad to know he's no longer with us. He'll be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Dean. He was a great person who had a passion for life and his hometown of Big Ben, Wisconsin; he would always have a smile on his face when he talked about Big Ben, his family, Danny's, and something he called “raw beef and onion!” He said this delicacy was a must at family functions/events; I was stationed with Dean in Germany from 1983 to 1986; not only did we work together but we lived in the same dorm for a while and did many off duty activities together (volksmarching, touring/sightseeing, softball, bowling, etc); RIP my friend.

To All Who Loved Dean;

May you find comfort in knowing that you are in the hearts and prayers of many as you grieve the loss of your beloved Dean.
I remember Dino as a young boy who would, at times, accompany Kilbee on his route. He was kind, bright and well mannered. And like his Grandfather enjoyed a good story and a laugh.
May God hold you close as you grieve and always. God bless you.

As we remember Dean, he will fill our hearts with minds with his love and memories. May God be with your family as you go through this time of sorrow.

I as stationed with Dean in Germany (1985-1987) and Korea (1987-1988). I was saddened to hear of his death. Can you tell me how he passed? I can be reached at [email protected]
