Everyone has heard the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” In the Edelman circle, we have our own saying, “If it isn’t working, have Dean take a look at it.” As a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, friend or neighbor, when asked, he would pick up his tools, move you aside and repair, replace or improve whatever motor sputtered, wheel wobbled or belt slipped. Dean had a love for all things mechanical and was employed as a governmental inspector with Continental Aviation; later rebranded as Teledyne Corporation.
