Dean Carson passing

[mak]

To those that may not have heard, my friend and partner Dean Carson, passed away Tuesday. Below is a note that the family sent out.  A few of his businesses were Transit Sales International and Shuttle Bus Leasing and a part owner in the Grand Canyon caverns. I purchased my first 2 buses (1938 transits) from Deans dad Dave. I knew him 38 years... he was a great friend, and partner. More can be found at www.transitsales.com, skip into.


To all our bus family,

It is with deep sadness that we write this email to tell you of the sudden death of Dean Carson beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Dean was flying home to Big Bear from Riverside on Tuesday evening in his Cirrus, a flight he had made daily for months.  For reasons unknown, Dean's plane crashed and he did not survive.

The family invites you to join us for a celebration of his wonderful life.

He loved gatherings and this will be an opportunity for people to remember Dean in a setting he would have enjoyed.
