    My relationship started about 22 years ago when he was a cracker-jack drywall contractor for our new house . Our relationship developed into a long term friend ship since then . We used to talk for hours tossing ideas around in various subjects most of them good . I will miss his excellent repartee . RIP ol’buddy . George

    I have meet both Dean and Theresa professionally. Stellar people!! Dean would snow plow my driveway for years(at a paupers price I might add) and we would have a great old chat about our town. I missed him doing my driveway in 2008-09 because he was always there. Never did I have to call……. but I had to call to pay him!!
    Blessings Theresa to you and your family. You are cared for in this parish community of St. Paul’s Church and Holy Family School. With deepest Sympathy, Deborah D.
