Dean was employed by Clayton Petersen Motor Company, Farmers Union, and Aurora Co-op. He retired in 2013 after 35 years of serving the farmers of Howard County. He enjoyed playing cards and BINGO, watching Western movies, Husker football, and trying his luck at scratch-off lottery tickets. You could always find him at Skyline Cafe having coffee with his buddies. He will be remembered for being a loyal servant who truly enjoyed helping others.
