I had the privilege of working with Dean for 5 years while he lived on Amherst Avenue in Ticonderoga. While 5 years isn't long, I will cherish those years for the rest of my life and Dean is a huge part of the reason why.

Dean will be forever remembered and greatly missed by all who's lives he touched.

My heart goes out to Dean's family and his many friends. May you find comfort in the memories you keep of him and of the thought that he is now free to soar with the birds, amongst nature, which he had such a great passion for.
