HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAN!

Posted by on February 24, 2011  |  No Comments

Dean is celebrating his 55th birthday on Saturday February 26th.  Our House of Orem Assisted Living at 410 South Main Street will be having an open house from 1-3.

Please join us at Our House to celebrate Dean’s Birthday and enjoy some brownies and ice cream.  Dean grew up in Lakewood, Colorado with 3 older brothers and sisters: Kathy, Debbie, and Mark.  After graduating from high school in 1974, Dean served a full-time LDS mission in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Dean attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho until he decided to transfer to BYU.  At BYU, Dean decided to pursue a career as a pilot.  He was hired by Skywest Airlines in 1984 and worked as one of their top-ranked commercial pilots for more than 20 years.  Flying is definitely Dean’s passion.

Dean loves his cars.  His pride and joy was his’68 Chevelle, which he raced and won many trophies with.  More recently he owned a ’72 Camino, which tore up the racetrack with a consistent 12.2 second quarter-mile time.  Along with restoring muscle cars and drag racing, Dean likes to play racquetball and he is still the champion of our chess games.

Dean is the father of four children, 3 girls, one boy.  He has 3 grandchildren with one on the way.  Dean loves spending time with his family and can still beat them at a game of bowling.  He loves his religion and has spent many years gaining more knowledge through his great collection of Church literature.
