Dean, James Hooks, and I practiced at MASH before I married and went off to Ft. Bragg. I was sad to learn of Dean’s passing. Had he been ill? You have my email address and I would appreciate learning anything of his passing, beyond what Broussards posted.
Wendy,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Thinking of you and your family!
My grandmaw worked with him many years ago. She always thought highly of him. God bless his family. And prayers for them.
Praying the Lord provides his comfort and peace during this time of sorrow.
“So we fix our eyes not on what Is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
2 Corinthians 4:18
Sorry for your loss He was super nice guy
Good friend and great St. E employee. May God bless.
I worked with Dean when we were employed by Walgreens. He was always good to work with. A very sweet man and great pharmacist. My deepest and sincere condolences.
