Tributes
"Jack and I have known Dean Wolinsky since 1990. We met Dean in a computer shop in Atlanta and he ended being our computer expert for many years. Many were the times he saved us! Most importantly,Dean became a valued friend whom we love/loved dearly. One of the happiest days of Dean's life was when he met Angela -- I'll never forget his excitement when he was telling us about their first date -- and about the hike they took together with Angela's beloved dog -- there is no doubt that Angela was the love of his life... The other happy days were surely when his beautiful children, Devin and Taylor,were born. Dean Wolinsky was a good man -- the kind of man the world needs. Our hearts are broken that he is unable to stay with his beloved wife, children, and sweet pets. The world was certainly a better place with a living Dean Wolinsky. Jack and I will never forget him... Our heartfelt sympathy to his beautiful family."
"For a very special man -- thoughts and memories of your time on earth. May you be as happy in heaven."
