So sad to hear this news about Dean. I last saw him and had a long chat or two at our 50th Reunion. My strong memory of Dean in High School, was how jealous I was of his very good looks, and his incredible wardrobe. RIP🙏🏻 Chuck

I was saddened to hear of Dean's recent passing.
He was an extraordinarily nice individual and very proud of his extended family and of his Greek Heritage.
Around the time of the classe reunion, as well as before and after it, I had had mutliple telphone conversations with Dean. The topics we discussed were many, including "old times" , our families and of course the present. I always liked Dean and saw him as a "classey" indivisual, for want of a better term. I can recall some interesting times that we shared in high schoool but will refrain from digressing.
Dean will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Dean's passing. I spoke to him a few years ago to catch up. I've been thinking about calling recently. Just tells you we are at an age when do it today because we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

So sorry to hear of Dean's passing. I didn't know him very well, but the last time our class got together, I did talk to him for quite a while and he seemed like a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. Rest in Peace Dean!
