On June 27, we celebrated the retirement of long-time staff member Dean English, who had been with us for over 40(!!) amazing years. Dean has held nearly every position imaginable at the centre, ranging from animal caretaker to lab technician before finally settling on imaging extraordinaire.

The HLI family joined Dean for cake, and everyone had a blast recounting his infectious personality and infamous practical jokes. Dean had a particularly fond memory of the time he was asked to be a house sitter for Dr. Hogg, which he found as the perfect destination to host parties alongside Dr. Hogg’s daughter.

Ever the life of the party at HLI and its various names over the years, Dean will surely continue to liven up wherever he goes next.
Wishing you the very best in retirement, Dean!
