I knew Dean through high school and at UB. He often gave me rides to UB when I was home for a weekend. It was a joy to know him - his laughter, kindness, and his poetry and writing. He was so thoughtful and will be sorely missed by so many. He spoke so proudly of his children and grandchildren. I know his health was very bad these last months and yet when I called him he always sounded hopeful. He is out of the earthly pain at this time and that gives some peace. It does not take away from missing him and I send peace and kindness to his children and grandchildren as you walk the journey of loss of someone so precious.
