On October 25, 1950, he married the love of his life, Laneita Jean Seymour. Together they lived in Independence MO while Dean was in the Air Force from 1950-1954. Dean graduated from the University of Missouri in 1957 with a degree in Agriculture.

Dean’s family and friends best remember him for his homemade ice cream, 4th of July fireworks, lively pitch card games, golf challenges, support of the University of Missouri Tigers and wonderful sense of humor. He was always willing to help others in any way he could and in his retirement loved meeting his buddies at Walmart many times a week for coffee.
