Dale Lee Dean

Dale Lee Dean, 67, of Harrington, DE passed away peacefully at his sister's home. Dale was born in Harrington, the son of the late Jonas K. and Margaret (Morris) Dean. He owned and operated Dean's Construction with his brother Bobby Dean for 10 years. He then went to work for Joseph T. Richardson, Inc. until retirement. Dale was a charming, fun-loving, generous man with a great sense of humor. Dale always loved working with his hands, fixing cars and tinkering around his shop. He enjoyed being outdoors, working in the yard, cutting grass, going to the beach and traveling. While relaxing at home, he liked to watch westerns and crime shows.
