Dean was a classmate in elementary school, School 38 Class of 1972. I am thankful we were able to reconnect through Facebook over the last few years. Those were good years in our lives, and I know they helped to shape us as the men and women we became. I pray the family’s strength during this time and that Dean rests peacefully.
Dad I know you are up there watching over all of us we all miss you so much I love you more than you ever knew I would do anything to be able to call you and say hey dad lets go ride the bikes downtown or for you to call me and say hey what are you doing I just need to talk to an adult for a minute lol or hey I have a doctors appointment in a few days can you take me I wish you was still here I should be at your house visiting today ߘ” well until I see you again i love n miss you
I wake up every morning forgetting that your gone. It takes a few minutes for me to realize that I won’t ever get to talk to you or see you again. I’d give anything for my good morning phone calls and our afternoon talks. I miss tucking you in at night it was our special thing. I hope you really knew you were never a burden. I never minded taking care of you when you got sick. You had always been here for me. I love you and miss you dad.
We hope you will find peace and comfort in remembering the good times you had together. We know he loved you all very much.
Amanda You are sure a good person and took sure good care of Dean. I know you will miss him.
