Honored to have known Michael Dean. A truly great man that I will always remember for knowing the right thing to say and taking the time when someone was in need. I love to tell the Michael Dean story of DMN (Dont Mean Nothing) on his business cards, he of course did mean something to quite a few! My condolences to the entire family.
