For those of you in Southern Illinois who knew Mike Dean, either as a teacher, friend, or co-worker, you knew what kind of man he was.  Just an amazing person who loved helping others.  Efforts are underway in Johnston City to revitalize and rename the city park in his honor.  If you’re interested in donating to the re-building efforts in Johnston City, contact the city treasurer’s office at (618) 983-6651.  Your donation is tax-deductible, and will go to providing a safe place for the families of Johnston City to come together and play!  I had a chance to talk with Mike’s dad, Jimmy Dean on today’s #KiTC Morning Show…
