    We were so sorry to hear the passing of Dean. We have found memories of Dean always having fun with the kids when picking them up for school. Dean was my favourite bus driver! He knew how to make them behave but also have fun. Most of all the kids had tremendous respect for him. Then one day, the PTA thought we should have Dean do another job at Breakfast with Santa for Holland Road School! He was always up for the challenge! We send our love to you Sharon. Dean was a great man! The Clarke's (Joanne, Tim, Brooke and Ryan)
