Walter Pierson Dean, Jr. passed away peacefully Friday in Hackettstown NJ. He was 92.

Upon returning, he earned a degree in Chemistry from Philadelphia Textile Institute and raised his family in Montville, NJ. He was employed as plant manager for S. B.

He is survived by his loving wife for 68 years, Jean Elizabeth (née Van Duren), daughter Janis and her husband John Amodeo, sons Walter (Scott) and Don, two granddaughters, Jenna and Elizabeth Amodeo, and four nieces, Adele, Susan, Sharon and Kathy.
