“Dean was such a cheerful, friendly, giant hearted man and one of the first who welcomed me and my husband then later in the years as they were born, our three young children to Montclair Community Church. My oldest so loved Dean and his giant smile and infectious laugh. We will miss him greatly. Our deepest condolences to Kathleen and his children. We are praying for God’s Grace and comfort to surround them at this time.”
