Please note that if we inadvertently forgot your name, it was not intentional. Our beloved Dee was cherished by so many family and friends that a few of your names may have escaped us. We know that he loved each and every one of you unconditionally and we thank you for your support, love and prayers during this time.
May His Soul Rest in Peace!
