Jamie and Jeff.... I'm so terribly sorry about this news that Mr. Dean has passed into the hereafter and is now with the Lord. Mr. Dean was second to none. He was an administrator and a teacher and a guiding person to all students. I know he had an impact on my life. And it is a debt that I can never ever repay. Please know that Mr. Dean's now in the hands of the Lord and he will dwell there forever and one day, you will be reunited. Goodbye Mr. Dean, thank you so much for what you've done, and rest in glory forever.... AMEN

Thoughts and prayers go out to Jaimye and Jeff. "Mr.Dean" as we all called was a "great guy," even when I would get in trouble in school. Spent many evenings and afternoons playing basketball in his driveway. He made us feel like family. He is in a special place.
