He was chairman of the Moses Lake Planning Commission, active in the chamber of commerce and a retired manager of the Columbia Basin Federal Credit Union. He was a kind and gentle man to all those he touched.

He dearly loved his brothers Jim and Terry, his four children Perry (Susan), Patricia (Sonny), Rachel (Ghislain), and Ande (Yvonne), and his 10 grandchildren Nicholas, Alexandra, Malea, Kaeli, Elena, Camille, Gabrielle, Juliette, Ladon and Gianna.

Dean will be laid to rest near family in Salt Lake City. Dean will be missed by the Spokane Parish of the Greek Orthodox Church where he was an active member of the Parish Council. May his memory be eternal.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be sent to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 1703 N. Washington, Spokane, WA 99205 or the American Cancer Society.
