Not surprising that when you rearrange the letters in his name, "Dean Ferrari" = "A Rare Friend". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At first I cried but then a friend explained to me that my tears were selfish and only about *my* loss. Once I realized that you are now singing along with Jerry, *WITH* Jerry... Well, I can't do anything but smile, Smile, SMILE at the thought. :) So save me some of your "visine" and I'll meet you by the balloon guy when I get there! (I just hope that hippies don't smell like patchoulli up there...)

I love you and miss you so much, VarmBundy!!

My deepest condolences to the Ferrari family. It seems like I knew Dean for most of my life, as my sister and I grew up with all the kids; Gary, Tony, Kathy, and Dean. I have so many fond memories of hanging out at the Ferrari house with the neighborhood "gang" and feeling like Mr. and Mrs. Ferrari made us a part of their family. I will always remember how Dean's eyes would literally light up when he would smile at you. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers...always.

To the family and friends of Dean, my most sincere condolences. I got to know Dean after we moved into his childhood home on Baltimore Avenue in 1999. It was always great to catch up with him as we both shared lots of history with the town of Corte Madera and our mutual friends. I remember Dean for his great personality and will miss him as will many others who had the pleasure and priviledge to call him a friend.

I attended school with Dean from 6th grade onwards and have only good memories of him. Dean just rolled with the crew with a smile and that laugh/giggle. I am truly sorry to hear this news and send my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. When I think of Dean I picture him in his denim jacket
