thank you , one and all, for caring about Dean enough to leave a message here for myself and his family.. it is almost like Dean, who had a twin, was himself a twin unto himself noone ever knew.. your caring words i re-read over and over, and tho i won't ever know what was too big for him in this world, i know he knows that he was loved.

Dean was one of the most compassionate men I have known. His quick wit and humor always brought the people at work so much laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time. The lives that Dean has left untouched have truly missed a blessing.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to all of Dean's family and friends. Dean had such a gentle soul, his expressions alone spoke more then any words and there was always so much laughter in his presence. Dean was a classmate, a friend, a brother-in-law, an uncle to my children and a God Father to my son. He will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

My deepest sympathy to all family members of Dean. Words cannot express how broken a person's heart can feel during this time, but be rest assured that time and faith will help heal this wound. Sandy, Dean's sister and my coworker and friend, is a special person and truly has a wonderful and supportive family.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

When I arrived at the reception, I had forgotten that Dean had an identical twin. They are so much alike, especially in mannerisms when they talk. It was good to see Dean one more time. Thank you Dennis.

I don't even know what to say about all this. Dean was such an amazing guy, with the best sense of humor and personality. I worked at Walgreens with him for 9 months, and he did nothing but make work fun and go by fast. Even after I quit, I would go in to visit and pick on him about his mustache he worked so hard on! My condolences to all the family and friends, you're lucky to have such a great guy on your side.Just remember all the good times.. Gonna miss ya Dean

Love doesn’t end with dying
Or leave with the last breath.

To Dean: You are a wonderful person who showed my children the true meaning of a Grandfather, especially after the passing of my own father. Kendall, Viktorea and Heaven share in many fond memories of you and Calais would have been blessed with someone like you in her life. Much love until we meet again.

To Deans family I want to extend my deepest sympathy. Deans passing is a great loss to all those who worked with him, his family, friends and acquaintences. His smiling face will certainly be missed to many of us whom he greeted and joked around while he was at work.
