Although I was not related to Dean, I always felt like he was my brother in law and that Patty (college roommate) my sister. Although he may gone from this world, he leaves an indelible legacy as a husband, a father and a friend. As God gave us memories, it is our job to share our stories about our Dino and keep his memory alive for others. Hope to see you in the next life my friend! Thanks for the memories and the great times!

Patty,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I am one of Dean’s former step sisters. My niece Michelle was the flower girl at your wedding. My family and I are deeply saddened to learn of Dean’s passing. He was a terrific step-brother to me. I am sorry that we lost touch with the Waasted boys but I have fond memories of them. It is wonderful to learn that you had so many terrific years together, My Mom Carmen, sisters Bonnie and Jeanette, and families join me in sending our deepest condolences to you and your family.
