Karen-I'm so sad to hear passing of your -sweet precious Daddy-. He was so down to earth & that smile. He always said I was older than him every year our BDay rolled-around & I'd of course say "you're right". He will be missed & I know the Lord called Home a wonderful Disciple. Loving Prayers to your beautiful Mother with my love! In Christ, Patti Moore

Karen,Lee and your families I was so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. When I lived in Coulwood I would run into he and your mom at the grocery store. We would always have a good chat about the granddaughters and my children. He was truly a gentle giant of a man. I know he will be missed greatly by you all.

Karen and Family, I will miss Roy, especially, at the mailbox. He'd pull up turn the car off ... Id walk over if I was outside, we talk and laugh about the world and our troubles,( we would resolve we didn't have many troubles.) I will miss him. Much Love to You All. Kim Smith

Our prayers are with the entire Dietzel family. Roy was such a nice neighbor. He always smiled and stopped to say hello when walking our golden retriever. We're so sorry for your loss.

Growing up next door to Roy, Nancy, Lee, and Karen was wonderful. Nancy and my mom always sat and talked to each other - at the same time... I can still hear Roy's laugh, how much fun he was to be around, and the wonderful man that he exemplified to all of us in the neighborhood. Lee was my right-hand help with all my tinkering in the backyard - a great memory! And Karen was always such a princess.

Have a lot of good memories of Mr. Dietzel while I was playing Little League baseball. Grew up right around the corner on Heywood Ave. and my parents, Joe and Joyce Taylor were very good friends with Mr. And Mrs. Dietzel.
Love and Prayers to the family!
