Dean was my Godfather, and though we didn’t see each other much, he has left a lasting impression. I will be out of state for the service, which I regret I cannot avoid, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Lynn, you have my deepest sypathy. I live in Arizona now and just found out today.
Dean will be missed by everyone who knew him.
I knew Dean from Jordan Jr. High in Minneapolis from ’63-65. Although we didn’t keep in touch, I remember him well from those early days.
My condolences to his family and especially to his sister, Diane.
Sincerely,
Steve Kozicky
We express our deepest sympathy to Lynn and the family.
Dean always presented himself in a positive way, a special kind of chemistry that made one feel welcome to be his friend. His work ethics and honesty were most appealing. I’m sure he was a terrific father and husband. A person to be very proud of. We will surely remember him and his family in our prayers.
