Tomorrow, it will be a year since you joined the Lord in heaven and I still think of you daily. There are often days I want to give you a call on my way home from work, even if its just argue about politics. There are even more days I wish you were around to see this baby of mine grow and for you to teach him things only a G-pa could. If you were here, you’d tell me I’m being melodramatic and that I didn’t need to cry for people in heaven. I know…but I still miss you immensely. Love you, Dad. 

Happy Heavenly Birthday Rest in Power my friend until we meet again ❤️💜 you were the best Supervisor/Mentor/Dad/Friend

Happy Father’s Day, dad. It’s been two years since we talked but my heart has conversations with you every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be my father. I miss you dearly. ♥️

He was my Supervisor over 20 years ago he immediately took the role as my mentor and a father figure. He insisted I finish college and had faith in me when I did not believe in myself. His family welcomed me with support and LOVE I could go to him and talk about anything. He was always supportive Deane was very honorable and honest even when it could be easy to go along with the crowd he choosed the tough route and was honest Deane practiced what he preached. I will always Love him like a dad and thank him from my heart and soul for the example he set for me and guidance. Love your daughter Mirlin 💝
