LATHAM - Dean A. Barbera, age 67, passed away on December 19, 2022.
Born in Schenectady, NY on November 4, 1955, he was the beloved son of the late Salvatore (Frank) and Laura Barbera.
A mason by trade, he devoted his career to the construction industry. Dean had a love for restoring classic cars; however, his greatest joy was being a father and "Poppy Dean" to his four granddaughters.
Dean is survived by his loving sons Ryan Barbera (Katie) and Nicholas Barbera (Jade); his cherished granddaughters Ella, Lola, Minka and Greta Barbera. He is also survived by his brother Frank Barbera (Phyllis) and sister Barbara Benner (Dick), along with nieces, nephews and countless friends.
He will always be loved, never forgotten and forever missed.
