Dean, its been almost 6 months since you went home. I have to say I have tried to call you so many times. I miss you tons. not a day goes by that I don't think about you and our morning calls. I always thought we would be stuck here together till we where old and gray and you finally got glasses :). but God Took you home and for that I am so happy for you. I miss you so much. If I could only talk to you one more time.. I lie.. I miss our morning calls, the girls birthdays, holidays, your birthday huge bag of candy and especially your up north goofing off. I pray you are doing well and finding your way around, so when I come home you will be waiting to guide me and show me the ropes as usual. rest in peace "baby" brother with no more pain. We all miss you terribly. and one more thing, thank you for your last words.. I will cherish them for my life. Say Hi to God, Jesus and Mary for me... and remember the secret I told you. we can laugh about that when I get there! BIG HUGS!!!

I first met Hound dog about 25 or so years back. I was green with a radio. He introduced me to a great bunch of kids up in the "North Lot". I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. I will hold memories of those days close to my heart.

Dean - I knew you before we became "family". I knew what a great man you were, how generous you were with your time, and how much you cared for others. I'm so glad my daughter, Tabi, married your nephew, Jan, and found the gentle man you were. You were always talked about with such caring from her. Now your family grieves your passing and so do I. God Bless, as I know God has you next to him, watching down on your family.
My prayers to you "Granny", Cheri, AJ, and the rest of the family.
