One time we got ourselves in a pickle and we we did what young high school students do - we had a little too much fun. Unfortunately we needed some guidance and advice...and Mr. Dean was our go to guide. He didn't judge us, he listened and guided us to our parents and ultimately the right decisions. He had a gentle caring and understanding about him - that I can say "was the teacher" who had the greatest impact on my high school life.
He was in every sense of the word - a gentlemen. That was 25 years ago....and I still remember his guidance.
My deepest condolences to the family.

My deepest sympathy to all other friends and relatives of John Dean. We were friends at St. John's Univ. He was a wonderful and peacefilled person at that time. I wish you all God's love and my love as well.

I pray that the family of John Dean will please accept my expression of sympathy on the death of your husband and father. John and I were classmates at Saint John's University. We played football together for two years and were roommates when on the road. John and I became good friends. I have often wondered what John did with his life. It pleases me to see that he worked in school administration and has a wonderful wife and daughter. I became a Benedictine Monk in Cleveland where I worked in school administration as well. Ten years ago I was called to be bishop. I pray that with the prayers of this bishop, John will have quick entry into the special place reserved for him in heaven. Perhaps someday we will be roommates again. May he rest in peace!

Dear Margaret and Katie, unbelievably, after so many years it was truly an act of God that we should meet again in the same room at Freeport Hospital, only separated by a curtain. That our husbands, Sheldon and John should spend their last few days together, not even ever having met and end their long battle with cancer together in the same room, is unbelievable. Katie, I still remember when Sheldon, Sarah, Mirabel and I first moved to the Laurelwood neighborhood and you became our babysitter back in 2001. The girls used to count the days until your next visit as they had so much fun with you. You always used to bring great little crafts and keep them busy, while I ran around doing my errands. Although, we lost touch over the years, we'd still see you both, Margaret and Katie in and around the neighborhood and had no idea you were going through the same painful ordeal I and my daughters (now including Jennaca also) were going through. John was very fortunate to have you both care for him. We could feel and see the love across that curtain last week. We are so sorry for your loss but know that together, you will be strong and that John's memory will live long through you both. Here's to a new chapter in all of our lives, and new happy memories to come with John and Sheldon watching over us from above...

There was no voice like his in the hallways and classrooms of Senator O'Connor in the mid-1980s, when I knew him. And when he laughed, which came so easily to his smiling soul, his hearty chortle bridged the gap between teacher and student to form a common human connection. That bridge allowed those who would travel it to gain insight into whatever subjects were on the agenda. And it wasn't always English. Mister Dean--and it was always Mister Dean--was the most formally educated teacher in the school, to my knowledge, and his holding of a Master's degree earned him respect from the start. But it was his sense of wonder, reflectiveness, insight, and glorious articulation that made you want to pursue a subject, to consider new ideas, and take them further. He was somehow able to combine a superior mind with common humility; to, at once, speak of the noblest ideals, and then respond to a classroom prankster with a retort of his own that put all at ease. His was a rare blend of best and base. And though you knew you might get away with something behind his back, you really didn't want to, because he respected you, and took you at your word. He made a lasting impression on young minds by summoning the "better angels of our nature", and, though time and distance strained the bonds familiar, he shall not be gone, but live on in those blessed to have ever known him.
