Always enjoyed having Dean help us in the kitchen at Mount Zion church to make the auction meal. He knew how to mash those potatoes. He had a great sense of humor. He will be missed. Heart of a servant.

The kitchen workers at New Life Church will miss Dean's help preparing meals and cleaning the kitchen, especially washing all the dishes. We can never replace Dean's love for people and his sense of humor, that made the hard work go fast and the time spent working together so enjoyable.
