Dino was my best friend growing up. One time we were playing tackle football (that's right we played tackle football with no pads and no helmets). Tensions were running high. I caught a pass and Dean tackled me and took an extra roll forcing my left wrist back towards my elbow breaking both bones. It was gross looking. That was bad enough, but Dean decided to re-set the bones(I guess he had watched too many episodes of Marcus Welby M.D. on tv). My dad took me to the Good Sam hospital. The Dr. said the bones were re-set perfectly and asked my dad who re-set it. My dad replied a 12 year old. We alway's laughed about it later. Of all the talent's this man had who knew he could have also gone into the medical field. I will miss you my brother. Love Always!

I didn't see Dean in person much but really cherish our talks on Facebook. First time I meet him I felt like I knew him forever. I'm sure God has welcomed Dean into heaven the way Dean always welcomed people into his presence. I will miss our chats
