Like Mark Doyle I just heard about Dean's passing this afternoon. I am so sorry to hear about his passing. One of the most viberate person I ever met. I still have some golf pictures from his Freshman and Sophomore years. He will truly be missed but always remembered

Just heard about this tragic accident. In shock because we have lost a great person on this earth. So blessed and fortunate to have known Dean and to have many memories with him...one especially having him as a groomsman in my wedding 5 years ago. He will surely be missed. My prayers and condolenses to his friends and family. <3 May he forever rest in peace and watch over all of us. XOXO
