Dean was a member of the American Legion and Teamsters Union, and enjoyed fishing, deer hunting, and all motorsports. He was a big fan of the TV series, M*A*S*H, and enjoyed watching different documentaries, especially about animals. Dean was a master of crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and enjoyed playing euchre. He was known for his Scooby-Doo laugh and funny sense of humor.
Dean was very proud of his Native American heritage and was a member of the Sault Ste. Marie tribe of the Chippewa Indians. He also loved eagles.
