A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 7:00p.m. at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre. Dean was born on November 28, 1936, to Cecil and Mary (nee Salm) Gay in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. He was united in marriage to Sylvia Kreklewetz, formerly of London, England in 1962 and immediately became ‘Dad' to three young sons. Dean worked as a salesman for Smith Fruit and Fry-Cadbury, greatly enjoying the comradery of small town store owners, before pursuing his true passion as manager of Deer Park Municipal Golf Course for the City of Yorkton. Upon leaving the Golf Course (with a Life Membership), Dean opened his own golf business, and later, with his son Wayne, branched out to include Dean Gay Golf and Tent Rental. Dean and Sylvia spent many happy short golf trips with friends during the winter but he was particularly fond of following his son's and grandson's numerous hockey achievements and daughter Sheree's gymnastics and prolific horse-riding accomplishments. He was pre-deceased by his parents, and a sister, Marion Goodin. Dean is survived by his wife Sylvia; sons: Wayne of Yorkton; Lance (Shannan) of Balcarres; and Dean (Lianne) of Saskatoon; daughter Sheree (Frank) Ortman of Regina; grandsons: Ryan (Aimee), Brent and Branden; great grandchildren: Brooke, Sydnea, Jasmine, Portia, Ireland & Hayden. Also surviving are brothers John (Joyce) of Vernon BC, Elwyn (Donna) of Delisle SK; and by a sister Murial (Lloyd) Ammundson of Naicam SK, and their families.
