Chris, Michaele, Christian, and Megan, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father, grandfather. From what I've heard, he was a large part of your life. He will surely be missed. Losing a parent, no matter what age, is difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mary Lou and family - We were devastated when we heard that Ray had passed. Words cannot express how we feel about the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Jim, Lynette, and Amanda Turner

Dear Mary Lou, Chris, and Jennifer, (Dan and Michelle, too) The world has lost a truly great man, but Heaven has gained one. Ray will surely be missed by all who knew him. We truly enjoyed visiting with him, he always had a kind word, a funny story and wise advise. We couldn't have asked for a better neighbor! He was so great with the kids, I remember when we first moved on the street that they would wait at the window and holler hello to him. He always took time to say hello. It was a true pleasure to know him. Know that many are grieving with you. I know how proud he was of his family and so easy to see how much he loved all of you. God be with you during this very difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. God Bless, Mike and Connie Selleck and Family

My thoughts and prayers are with Dolly, Chris, Michelle, Jennifer & Dan through this difficult time.

Ray will be missed by many.. Love Denice

Chris, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I know how hard it is to watch your parents go from young-at-heart to frail, seemingly overnight. I pray that God is with you and your family to help you through this difficult time. Know that your father is happy with the Lord and is finally free from the pain and limitations that he had here on earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My mom always used to say this when ending a conversation, and I pass it on to you: God Bless You. God Love You. God Keep You.

We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences from our hearts, to you for your great loss. We remember lovingly this special man, who always helped others, a true mentor, providing opportunities for others, a man who deeply loved his family and friends. Our friendship spanning over 30 years, we worked together, watched each others family grow, and formed a strong, everlasting brotherhood. The world has lost, and heaven has gained. Raymond M. Dean we will always remember and love you. With All of our love and may God Bless you and keep you, David and Patty White and Family.

Dear Dean Family, We will miss Ray very much. He was very special to us. The family and Ray will all be in our prayers. We will have an "S" cookie for him on Saturday.

Chris, I believe there are two sides to the phenomenon known as death, this side where we live, and the other side where we shall continue to live. Eternity does not start with death. We are in eternity now. ~ Norman Vincent Peale ~

To the Dean Family, I went to high school with Jenny ( I was a year ahead). I heard about your dad's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. May God and the angels hold you as you go through this difficult time. My prayers are with your family.
