I am sorry for your loss of such a pure Norwegian and amazing role model of a purposeful life. My memories are of Dean and Ann contributing their time and skills to the Sons of Norway and First Lutheran Church. He will be missed but leaves a wonderful family to tell his story.

I was saddened to learn of Dean's death and he and his family are in my thoughts today. Dean and Ann were wonderful supporters of the Indian Creek Nature Center and encouraged me in my career there. He and Ann were the first lifetime members. He was a wonderful man and role model. Rich Patterson
