Dean loved to fish for the “Big Muskie” and also enjoyed the time they spent in Florida walking the beaches looking for sand dollars, and then ending up in Albuquerque, NM with more family. Dean’s other passions included traveling with his family, watching or attending any sporting event, backyard bonfires, Easter egg hunts, and playing with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dean was a devoted Catholic and supported his parish functions and schools that his kids attended.
