Tom Dean moving back to Goldsboro

Tom Dean, Class of 1949, will be moving from Lynch Station, Virginia to Goldsboro, North Carolina so he can be nearer to more children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Tom Dean

Tom and his late wife, Rosemarie Dean, a 1950 Uniontown (Pennsylvania) High grad, have lived in Lynch Station for 11 years because it is near his daughter, retired Colonel Pam Dean Mitchell, who lives in Arlington, Virginia.

Rosemarie passed away in 2012.

And Tom has three sons in Goldsboro and brother Jim, Class of 1945, not that far away in LePlace, Louisiana. The sons work in Raleigh, Pine Level and Fayetteville.

Tom and Rosemarie lived in Goldsboro, North Carolina for 35 years before moving to Lynch Station.

Tom will still send and receive emails till Sunday, Oct. 2. Then the moving van will get his stuff on Monday, Oct. 3 and have it at his Goldsboro residence Tuesday, Oct. 4.  

Tom adds: “I will get back in touch when I get situated again.  Take care and stay safe.”

When Tom tells me, I’ll tell you on this Monongah High Alumni blog.

Tom’s brother, Charlest Robert “Chub” Dean, Class of 1954, and Chub’s wife, Shirley Salisbury Dean, Class of 1957, have passed away.

Margie Dean is Class of 1948.

Tom’s Air Force career took him to such places as Spain, Iceland and Germany. Since Rosemarie’s passing Tom has taken trips throughout America with his long-distance truck-driving son.

He also has been a regular at Monongah High Alumni Reunions in Fairmont, which include visits to Monie – Ramona Fullen Michalski, Class of 1951 – who lives in Monongah.
