I will always remember going on beer and soda routes with him as a delivery person when I was in college. He was a good friend and a fun guy to hang out with. Played tennis with his, but he whipped me pretty good every time. He was an excellent player.

I was Deans caregiver before he went to the hospital. He was a very interesting man and I enjoyed listening to his stories. He was very sweet. I will miss him .
