Marion, my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I have fond memories of our good times together at First Methodist Church. Dean was a very kind person to all who knew him.

I didn't see Dean much over the years and I always regretted that. I have many good memories from high school of Dean. He was a good and decent person.

Evelyn and I extend our sympathy to the family. Dean and I played basketball and football at L.H.S. and have been friends for many years. We enjoyed visiting at our class reunions. My most memorable one being at our last class reunion when several of the L.H.S. athletes got together and talked of old times--especially the size of Dean's basketball shoe! He will be missed, and I treasure many wonderful memories.
