As 2006 graduates of our Biblical School community, both Dean and his wife, Marianne, are dear to our hearts. But since I did not have the honor of knowing Dean well myself, I invited his friend and classmate, Caryl Muller, to write a few words in Dean's memory. Here's what she writes:
"What I remember most about Dean is his generosity, passion and commitment to his family and the things he held close to his heart. Dean told us (his CBS small group) that after recovering from a serious medical episode he began reflecting on the direction he wanted his life to take. He felt called to issues of social justice and became very involved both at St. Ann's in Avon and at the Catholic Worker House in Hartford. Dean was an energetic, upbeat person who displayed a positive attitude and was always ready and willing to help others."
Contributions in Dean's honor may be made to Hartford Catholic Worker, 26 Clark Street, Hartford, CT 06120. For condolences please visit www.carmonfuneralhome.com.
