Mr. Harper was my first supervisor with the SCS back in 1978. He was a pleasant man to work for, very knowledgable and professional, and had a strong sense of integrity and fairness.

Wanda and Family: We are sorry to hear of your loss. We will always remember Dean's generosity to our kids on Halloween when he gave them an extra big candy bar. A small thing to Adults but a big thing to our kids! He was a very kind and noble man. We have you in our prayers.
