Published once at the total approximate cost of $29.12. cousins. Les thought he looked outstanding in his Air Force uniform.

Playmates, too, were his aunt, Mary Jane, and cousin, Myrna Lee....they were babies together, as their 1931 birthdates were July 30, Aug. 3rd, and Aug. 9th. They spent many happy hours growing up together. Dean always wanted to be just like the girls, and one time, he wore a dress, just so he could fit in. However, this "manly man" would never admit to the fact, when he grew older.

Dean was especially proud that his son, Don, chose to follow in his footsteps, as he, too, chose construction as his profession. Don says, "Dad taught me well."

Dean's motto was, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." The buildings that he built still stand today, a testament of his quality workmanship. He faced illness with a persevering spirit, and is now at peace with his Savior, Jesus Christ, and his loved ones who have gone before.

This 'good ole boy' shall be missed by his family and friends.
