Dean & Patti Williams

Dean and Patti first met Herb and Charlene in 2003 when they moved in across the street from them. From the first day they introduced themselves and spent time with Herb & Charlene, they felt like family. They really hated to see Herb & Charlene move several years later, however, they continuously did things with them until Herb’s passing. Charlene is still a part of their lives and they clearly cherish the time they spend with her. If Herb needed help with anything, Dean and Patti were there to lend a helping hand with support and a smile. If Herb or Charlene needed a ride somewhere, a prescription picked up, anything; the answer was always, yes. It was quite clear what Herb meant to Dean & Patti at the funeral, as Dean tearfully spoke of the fact that Herb was like a Father to him and truly considered him, Family. Please join us in recognizing and congratulating Dean & Patti Williams as our Herbies Heroes.
