Harold Dean Claridge, Jr. October 23, 1944 – June 23, 2015
Dean went to his forever home in Heaven on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. A faithful, loving and sometimes stubborn husband and dad, Dean’s proudest title was that of Papa to his six grandchildren. Born on October 23, 1944 to Harold Dean and Geraldine Claridge, he was the oldest of six boys. He married Lois Marie Lieke on July 8, 1967. Their son Jeff Claridge (Anita, sons David & Andrew) and daughter Jenny Reeves (Lonnie and the Fab4 – Hunter, Holten, Gage & Gracyn) completed their family. Dean loved a good ribeye, a cold beer and crossword puzzles. Ray Price country music, the Tom Landry-era Cowboys and afternoon coffee. Mostly, he loved and served the Lord with all his heart.

Dean is survived by brothers Larry (Anne) Claridge, Ronnie and Donnie Claridge and is preceded by brothers Bobby and Mike Claridge.
