Condolences

Condolence From: Denise Sneddon
Condolence: I was so sad to learn of the news of Dean's passing. I met Dean as a member of NCMS back in 2003. He was kind enough to take the time to mentor me and teach me a new system issued by DoD back then for which I will forever be grateful. My sincere condolences to your family and may he rest in peace. Thank you for your service Dean!

Condolence: Dean was such a wealth of knowledge and available to provide assistance to all. I often would ask him for guidance and assistance as I transferred into industrial security.

Condolence: Sincere condolences to the Wright family. Mr. Dean was no doubt "THE" mainstay throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region's NCMS Chapter and a valuable resource for obtaining information on all things
security-related. We have lost a remarkable gentleman and he will indeed be truly missed.

Condolence From: Steven Berhang
Condolence: As a member of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of NCMS, it was natural to be guided immediately to Dean for assistance in becoming a new FSO. Dean offered up his assistance and guidance to me which I am grateful everyday as I perform my FSO functions. He is truly a Pillar of National Security and he will be certainly missed by many. My best wishes to his wife and family. I have spoken with his wife several times as she attended faithfully many chapter meetings, helping Dean with his "Papers".

Condolence From: Christine Davis
Condolence: Dean was my mentor and someone who was very special to all of us in the Industrial Security World. I always said he was the only person on the planet who could recite word for word the NISPOM. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Dean, I would not be where I am today. He will be truly missed as he touched the lives of so many with his knowledge, warm smile, and friendship. My condolences to Annette and his family.
