Dear Karen,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Dean. He was always so friendly and kind. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

I remember Dean well as we were classmates at Norwich. My best memory is a funny one that occurred when my mother would ship me a "care package".
Somehow, Dean got wind of it when one arrived.
He would show up and ask " Hey, Vogs...did your mom send you some of her cookies?"... I would break down and say yes, and we both would enjoy a few handfuls of homemade cookies.
I have always enjoyed that memory.
The Lord's blessings to your family.

Dearest Karen and family, Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. The one time I was honored to meet him in CT while at your sisters during the TPC, I really admired his gentle nature and his intelligence. May the beautiful memories of him sustain you until we all meet again. Prayers, hugs and much love, Karen Romano - classmate from NHS 1972

Karen I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dean. Though we didn't know each other well, I always respected his kindness and admired his impressive success. His memory will undoubtedly continue to inspire us all. My condolences to you and his many loved ones during this difficult time.

Karen; We heard through sister Trudy that Dean has passed away. We lost contact years ago but I know you had been with my Mom in St. Augustine before she passed a year ago April. I remember Dean well when he was a young guy dating you and he worked for me as concert security along with Chip, Skip and Mel.
We offer our sincere condolences.
