60 years…wow, puts tears in the eyes. He had to be a strong man to support,his wife through her career and fame.
This is cute and touching…
“Parton met Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18.
“I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me),” Parton described the meeting. “He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about.”
They married two years later, on Memorial Day — May 30, 1966 — in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia.”
And it lasted 60 years until “Death us do part.”
Carl Dean kept himself busy while his wife was on tour and recording.
Carl was a businessman, having owned an asphalt-paving business in Nashville. They have two daughters.

Dang, that’s when I missed my chance. Of course, I was nine years old then.
So sweet! May he RIP. Sounds like he was a great person. Sorry for Dolly:(
