I worked with Dean for about 15 years. He was a lot of fun. I recall when he turned "double nickel". I once needed a car, he drop off a car at my house. I had it for 6 weeks or more. When I told him I had fixed my car and I would be returning his car, he came out an pick it up. When I tried to give him he wouldn't take it. I had to put it in his locker thur the vent.
I had many a interesting conversation with Dean. He was one of a kind,
I'm sorry for your lost
