My Uncle Dean was the most interesting person I've ever met. To my cousins David, Chris and Gwen I love you all so much. I know through everything life brings to you, that you can not only handle it, But learn and help others to learn from heart breaking situations. I know that your Dads spirit and zeel for life lives on in each of you. But my heart still goes out to you. With Gods help and love, the pain will lessen in time. To Davida I can only say I do know what you are going thru as I have been there to. My heart is with you and so are my prayers. Take peace in knowing that the golden years of his life could not have been happier for him. And that is in great part because of you. I love you all each and everyone. Rest anyway you want to uncle Dean you will never be forgotton.

Dean was one of the kindest people I was blessed to know. He always had a smile, a good word, or a story to tell.
The last time I saw him was a few years ago riding a motorcyle home to Ashland from the Farmer's Market in Talent. His basket was too full so I dropped some of his produce off at his home - greeted by his lovely wife.
Rest in peace my friend...you lived a full life.
