ALTAMONT — Stanley L. Dean III, a devoted father and longtime Guilderland school employee, died in his Altamont home on Monday, June 27, 2022. He was 66.

Born in Albany in 1956, he worked for the Guilderland School District for over 30 years before retiring in 2018. 

“He was a devoted father and always put his children and family first above all else,” his family wrote in a tribute. “Stan loved holidays, always putting in extra effort to make Christmas special for his family.

“He also loved to spoil his grand-dogs Lucy, Cinnamon, and Scully. Stan was also an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching games with his father.”

His brother, Robert, died before him, as did his former wife, Eileen (Capen); his mother, Norma, and father, Stanley Dean Jr. 

He is survived by his children, Andrea Witham and Steve, Michael Dean and Scott, and Caitlyn Dean and Tucker, and by his sisters, Diane VanBuren and Steve and Nancy Warner and Paul. 

A private service will be held for the family.

Memorial contributions may be made to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 424 E. 92nd St New York, NY 10128-6804 or at aspca.org.
