It was a well deserved tribute to Dean last night(Friday) at the visitation hours. Got there an hour early and in a few minutes there were 30 people in the funeral home lot waiting . A huge contingent of our racing family was there and many others that knew Dean. At 6:45 the line went around the inside of the funeral home , then outside and 300 feet down the sidewalk. I expect they were there well past 8 o'clock. A great man than I am proud to call a friend, tough loss for all.

I pray that the family finds strength to get through the funeral today which is private understandably .
