Dean Jones, actor, died on Sept. 1. Dean Jones Dead: ?The Love Bug? Star Dies at 84 | Variety And from one of Mr. Jones' friends: "My dear friend Dean Jones went to be with Jesus yesterday morning. He was a father figure to me, a great encourager, one who stood beside me when others would not. He and his wife Lory shared many Sunday dinners with me, many laughs, and some tears. We prayed together often in a men's small group, even got to work together a couple of times. A finer Christian gentleman you will never meet. One of my heroes, and I am a much better man for having had him as a friend and brother." Did he ever have a Ferrari? I looked in the thread of celebrities who owned Ferraris, but did not see his name.
