Many friends shared laughs and camaraderie with Dean and Judy in Spencer, Iowa. Memories will sustain us. God bless the family. Dean was a great guy.
Both Dean and Judy we’re/are great people. They would share their last dime if someone needed it! I truly love them. Dean was like a father to David and Larry, often giving them great advice, a shoulder if they needed it and unconditional love! You will be missed and as time goes by the family will know how they are loved because of the love he shared . Great husband, father, mentor, friend. God bless you, Judy.
