On August 18th my brother, Wayne Dean, died.  It has been a devastating blow for the whole family, both emotionally and financially.   Even though Wayne is now gone, we know he would have wanted his son Joe to continue in his education, so in Wayne's honor, my mother and I have created this campaign to raise funds for Joe so that he can continue studying beyond high school.  In honor and remembrance of Wayne, his colleagues and co-workers at Optics Planet have asked to contribute to this cause, and we hope you will join them.
These funds will be held in a custodial account until Joe is 18, at which time it will be used exclusively for his educational expenses.
