    We were so sorry to hear of Dean’s passing. I have many wonderful memories of Dean and your family during the summers that we spent with our grandparents, while growing up. I am very thankful that Mom and I were able to visit with you, Hass, and Dean just a few months ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

    Oh Hasseltine, I was so shocked to see the short notice in the Quill this evening, and too late to make the service. It has been such a pleasure working with and getting to know the two of you.
    May your faith comfort you and know you are surely in my prayers. Jan McGoldrick

    Dear Larry and Amber…..
    Words are so inadequate at times. I hope you are holding up well and your grieving is soon replaced by your memories and the love of those of us around you who love you so very much!
    I will keep you in my prayers and rosaries as I am traveling up the highway!
    Love, Karen

    I just read Dean’s obituary. My Mom & Dad, David & Katy Manes, worked with Dean & Hass at the Mammoth Spring Post Office. I was a little girl when they worked together, but remember them both fondly. My deepest condolences to Hass & the family.
