So many have gone before him. I am sure they were holding a cup of coffee royal for him.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Deaner, I loved riding with him on his milk truck as a kid, and seeing him in the later years at one of the many watering holes in Lodi. He was always there with a handshake or a hug. He was a great man. His words of wisdom were many, his laugh unforgettable. He will be missed. Thank you for your service Deaner. Your friend always, till we meet again. John

Sorry to hear of Dean's passing. His mother was our Aunt Una and sister to our Grandma Fitzgerald. My dad Bob and Dean were favorite cousins and tellers of great stories about their early years together. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. mike fitzgerald, bloomington, il
