"We are so sorry to hear of Dean's passing. We were only neighbors for a year but we thought a lot of Dean, such a kind man. Our girls just loved visiting with him outside. He will most definitely be missed by many. Just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this hard time. "
