Vicki, Thoughts and prayers to you and your family! 🙏🙏
Vicky, I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Dean. We go way back from Saint Anthony’s grade school and Stanley. He was great friends with my brother Leo, which means he was over at our home quite a bit. My folks always just treated Dean as another one of the kids. My heart goes out to you.

Vicki, Blake & Erik-
So sorry to hear about “Dean-O”. I remember all the great times at Rose Lake as kids. I remember Blake and Eric giving Broc nicknames I won’t mention on here. & I remember Dean always having a smile on his face. May you find some comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering.
