I knew Deano when we worked together at Union Carbide. We were friends outside of the plant and often visited each other. We both loved racing and old cars. I am sad for his passing and pray that God will Bless him and welcome him. Deano has run his race and has seen the checkered flag . God Bless
Much love shared ….now and forever! Prayers to all!!
Will love this gentleman until we meet in heaven🙏🏻❤️

At 10:30 a.m. The rain began to fall.
The sky was sad and gray.
He drew his last breath and closed his eyes.
The rain was Angels’ tears of joy
As he opened his eyes in the arms of God
For those of us that are left behind
Our sorrows know no bounds.
While we know his pain and suffering are over
And he revels in the joy of praising his Lord and Savior!
We will be hard pressed to fill the hole left in our own hearts
Until we see him again when our journeys’ ends are reached.
