Just looking at that handsome face brings back so many wonderful memories. He will be miss on this side of the vail, but there are many on the other side who greeted him with a warm embrace. Dean and Floyce were so good to my parents and and they will be blessed because of their kindness toward many. Until we meet again, Dean❤️
We met Dean when Floyce and I attended ASU. We had a potluck group from college that met often. Dean was such a good guy. We were saddened to hear of his passing into the light. We know the family has lots of Sony memories of him. Cherish them as that makes him continue in your lives. Blessings and prayers. Donna
Have not seen Dean for a long time. Looks like he stayed handsome forever. Sometimes I get sad about this journey we all must take and the time it takes to be together again. Please accept my sincere condolence and know you , Floyce will always be a legend in Mesa, I still laugh at some of your fun stories. Hugs.
