My sincere condolences to the Dean family for the passing of Mr. Proc Dean. Physically, he has passed back into God's kingdom, but mentally, he will remain within your memories forever, for the great accomplishments in his life as a devoted family man, business man and to his contribution to community.

I was a long time employee of Mr. Proc's transport company. I remain eternally grateful for that opportunity, and ever respectful of his honesty and hard work ethic. Mr. Proc will be missed, but the memories of his life and his generosity, will live on.
Sincerely,

Kathe Vance

All of this will never go unnoticed. May God truly bless and keep your family at this time. God has a good servant of Proc and in your hearts, you know this also. The heavens will shine brighter tonight. Saundra and Ray Freeman; Jeanne, Caroline, and John Michael Tomlinson; and Laura and Travis, Ayden, Sophie and Ada Shidal.

My condolences to the family. I knew Carl Boone when he was a young boy - my sympathy especially to Janet for we played many times together at her grandmother's home in Cedar Rock. May our heavenly father hold you close during this difficult time.
