I met Dean during my first year of law school probably November of 1973. He was such a nice guy and took me under his wing as they say, because I missed dearly my friends and family in New Jersey . He really helped me thru that first year . Then we lived at 321 South Main Street, Ada Ohio for the next 2 years with other law students attending Ohio Northern University. Dean and I were great friends, played on numerous sports teams, partied a lot, took a couple of trips to Cincinnati with Dean and listened often to the Rolling Stones. So many fabulous stories of my time with Dean . Sadly other roommates of Dean , that is Tommy J, aka Thomas Johnson Esq of Indiana Pa , passed away recently along with Harry Dorian Esq of Philly Pa ,now deceased and Bob Corcoran Esq of Saddle River NJ who also recently passed away. I guess I am the sole survivor of our close knit group . I knew Dean had relocated to Florida and it was on my agenda to pay him a visit as I did circa 1990 when I flew into Cincinnati with my then girlfriend and now wife Diane and went to dinner with Dean. We also checked out that beautiful big house he was building. So disappointing that too much time transpired and now Dean is no longer with us. So very sad . My condolences to you Jodiand your family . So sorry for your loss, Dean was a great person and a great friend . He brings a smile to my face when I think about him and all the good times that we experienced and shared during our 3 years of law school.
