Name: Kenneth Reynolds Dean Dates: Birth date: December 2, 1943 Death date: August 13, 2012 Obituary: Kenneth R. Dean, devoted husband, beloved father, cherished “Poppi”, brother, son, and friend, passed away on August 13th, 2012, after a brief battle with cancer. He was three score and eight years old. Ken committed his life’s work to what he loved. As a respected Chief Engineer with General Motors for more than 35 years, he never missed a single day of work. As a dedicated family man, he raised three children and lived to see three grandchildren. As an ardent fan of the Corvette, his collection began with a red ’63 split-window and culminated with a blue ’03 convertible. As a zealous dancer, he took up the muse whenever the mood stuck him (embarrassment of teenaged children be damned). Ken is survived by his wife of more than 40 years, Leslie, his two sons, Rod and Peter, his daughter Audrey (husband Sean), and a large & loving extended family. Ken will be missed always.
