All About DEAN
He enjoyed country MUSIC (especially Johnny Cash) and one of his best friends, Bill Perleberg provided guitar music and songs at both the prayer service and his funeral. Dean had a tremendous love for reading, and one of his very favorite authors was Louis L'Amour, of which he read all of his BOOKS, some of them twice. Dean enjoyed watching sporting events, and years ago was a huge fan of Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts. More recently a Minnesota Vikings fan, and of course all of his sons' great basketball careers at Medina, ND, as well as his grandchildren's sporting events in Jamestown. He was a great story teller, as his friend, and co-worker, Bill Perleberg told us. Dean loved telling stories and teasing his grandchildren and was known to have a few beers with his friends, singing to Bill's guitar music. Dean was an active member of the Litchville and Medina Wildlife clubs.
