Dean-Hey Heritage

John Phillip Hey



"In his last years, he walked to the dairy and worked in the cold room wearing a heavy sweater. We occasionally visited him at Aunt Mary's on Sunday afternoon. He said very little to us, so we just read the funny papers since we didn't take a Sunday paper at home." (recollection by Jan Hey Dean)
