We were very saddened to learn of Dean's passing. We knew Dean through a bowling league that we participated in some years ago. He possessed a wry wit, a gregarious personality, and a willingness to assist those in need at any time or place. Please accept our sincere sympathy and condolences! With dignity and respect, Frank and Nancy Letherby

Virginia, we are so sorry. Our hearts ache for you. We didn't see you & Dean much, but when we did...we'd walk away with our faces hurting from laughter. One of the many memories I have about Dean is that he had a nick-name for everyone. (whether they knew it or not!) He'll be missed tremendously. All of our love!

Dale, Virginia and Bill Sorry I couldn't attend the memorial service. I still can't believe he's gone on before us. Although I hadn't seen Dean since last year, I at least had a chance to catch up with him. All of those times in Pine creek and West Ottawa will be memories I can cherish. Too sad for me. He was quite a guy always laughing and proud of his accomplishments as a person and as a Marine. I will never forget him. God Bless the family Rich (Dick) Howard
