He was born on May 25, 1937 to Dorothy and Harry Bollman on the family farm on County Farm Road south of Coal Valley. Dean attended country

Dean was preceded in death by his father (1968), his mother (1984), and his brother-in-law, Robert Anderson (2007). Dean will be buried in the family plot next to his beloved Diane. Dean is survived by his sister, Barbara Anderson of Moline; his sons, Douglas Dean Bollman of Gaithersburg, MD, and Andrew David Bollman of Durham, NC; his daughter-in-law, Marcia Bollman; two grandchildren, Melissa and Brian Bollman; and 3 nieces and 2 nephews.
