Harry William Dean III

Harry, like his father, was a woodworking craftsman whose specialty wasboat restoration. He was employed with D & J Woodcraft of Wanchesefor the past 20 years.

Harry, also known as Bud or Yoda to family and friends, was a hard coreclassic rock and roll fan. He was never without bare feet, long hair,rock music, and a smile. They were quintessential hallmarks of the freespirit he was and perfectly punctuated the lifestyle he lived andloved.

Harry is survived by his Mom, maternal grandmother Mildred VincentSmith, sister Stevie Dean, and uncle Blair Smith and his wife, AndreaSmith of  Telford, Pa. He is also survived by his uncle LarryRedmond and wife, Donna, of Coopersburg, Pa., uncle Carlos Dean and hiswife, Ruth, of Maryland, and cousins, Jeremy Homeyard, Josh and SarahRedmond, Stephanie Dean, Hilary, Monica, Serena, Austin, and AddisonSmith.

Harry was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Robert R. Smith andHarry William Dean, grandmother Pearl Dean, and his maternal aunt anduncle Dawn and Gary Homeyard.

Harry, in the short time he was with us, left a larger than lifeimpression on those who knew and loved him. He traveled to the (rock’n’ roll) beat of a different drum, living and loving life and thepeople he shared it with. He lived hard, laughed often, and loved much.He was a positive force to be reckoned with and always left laughter, aprank, or a little chaos in his wake. It’s who he was, why he wasloved., and the reason we’ll never forget him or the times we shared.

The Twiford Funeral Home of Manteo is handling the arrangements.

Services/interment will be private, once the family has had time to assemble from near and far.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Harry and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

“If you die you’re completely happy…and your soul somewhere lives on.

I’m not afraid of dying.

Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I’ve got.”
