Lorrie, Leroy, Kristy, Matt and rest of family-- we were not acquainted with your loved one. However, we know quite well a few of his children and grandchildren as well as in-laws and they are all good stock. So, that says a lot about the family tree. Most are pretty ornery and that's a good thing--wouldn't have it any other way. You will have some sad times, but, mostly good memories. You'll catch yourself smiling for no reason and will primarily remember the good times you had together. Cry together and laugh together. He'll like that.
Katherine Browne, Carol Gamble - friends of family members
I have been deeply saddened to read of Dean's passing. I think fondly of the years we worked together along with the two of you, Dee and Travis. During the many hours Dean and I spent painting houses together, he always kept me amused with interesting stories of his experiences in the construction business. I always admired his patience, his smile and the fact that he always seemed amazed by the life that flowed around him. My heart goes out to those of you who have loved and cared for him, and to those of you for whom he loved and cared.
