Dean and Mary were married 54 years. They met at Gem City Business College. She was touched by his “great laugh”. He was her best friend and she will dearly miss talking with him and sharing the world together. She dearly loved taking care of him until his last moments. Dean was extremely dedicated to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was loved greatly by them all. They were truly blessed to have him in their lives. He was the rock and foundation of the family. They will always hold him close as a wonderful role model. “He was a great father and I want to try to be like him as a father.” He was always there to listen and help.
