Dean had a long career in various roles, including Brinks, working retail sales at Home Depot in the city and ultimately locally in Orillia for many, many years. He will always be remembered as the fun, goofy Uncle, always dressing up to scare us and was never apposed to sit at the “kids” table. Dean also had a gentle, caring side and was an animal lover first and fore most, especially dogs. His positive outlook, generous spirit, and kind heart left an impression wherever he went. Dean was overly passionate about being organized and loved his label maker! Dean loved music and movies, his home audio collection is impressive. He loved to volunteer and support charities like Compassion Canada. Dean was very grounded in his unwavering faith in God, and his faith only grew stronger in his final years of life, attending Guardian Angels Church.
