In Memory of Myron Grosz (Oct. 3, 1952–March 8, 2024). Myron was one of the founding members of Dean/Edwards Real Estate and Auction. Myron Grosz, Lanning Edwards, and Justin Dean have been business partners for 34 years. We have shared many good memories, successful auctions and all shared the love of working with family and extended family. Myron was an integral part of our firm, being the Responsible Broker for our Real Estate business and Clerk for all our Live Personal Property Auctions. While the Dean’s and the Edward’s families are not related, a family bond developed over the many years of working together. Myron will definitely be missed.
