I am very sorry to hear of Dean’s passing. I met Dean while attending Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD in the 1970’s. He lived on the same dorm floor as I did during my 4 years at school and was a good friend. He was a free spirit that always had a smile on his face and a laugh that was contagious. Dean will be missed! Rich Krull Panama City, Florida
