twenty years working as a HUD certified Real Estate
Salesperson for John J. Lease Realtors. He also held a
realtors license in the State of Florida. More recently,
Dean was employed by La Mela's Sanitation Services. It is
here where he formed bonds with who he considered his second
family. Dean loved fast cars, boats, and his train
collection. Nothing made Dean happier than a drive to the
beach on a hot sunny day in his Lincoln. But more than
anything Dean loved spending time with his nieces and
nephews, always making them laugh. Dean made friends
everywhere he went, and was always willing to lend a helping
hand. He is survived by his three sisters Ann Patsalos, and
her spouse Dr. Stephen Enriquez; Jeanne Patsalos, and her
partner David Corey; and Kristina Patsalos, and her spouse
Neal Wilkinson, and his nieces and nephews Peter Enriquez,

Pete Wilkinson. He is also survived by his beloved Aunt
Penelope Vassell; his Uncle Constantine Vassell and his wife
