I was just thinking about Dean last night. I looked up his name and saw he passed. We worked together at the Hyatt and spent a lot of time together. He was a sweet and generous individual. I remember him always having his scooby blow up in the back seat. I wish I would have known he was sick. My heart is sad and so many memories just keep coming up.

I graduated with Dean from Foreman High School. I last saw him at the 25th class reunion. We were together for the tour of Foreman and at the reunion in the evening. He was a great guy and a great friend. We will miss him. So long Dean.
