Through the years he enjoyed deer hunting, trout fishing, spending time at (the farm) near Waupaca with friends, taking French and working at the woodshop at the Oshkosh Senior Center, playing the organ, attending his army reunions (167th Combat Engineering Battalion), and reading Louis L amour books. Many will remember him for his willingness to help others and his very dry sense of humor.A special thank you to the wonderful staff of Eden Meadows who made Deanâ?TMs last days on this earth as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.There will be a memorial service for friends and family on December 7, 2010 at 11:00 AM in Plymouth Congregational Church in Oshkosh.
