Christopher Valentine Dietz

Chris was a dear friend and mentor to many, including me. He was always compassionate and interested in justice for all. I will never forget him. Moreover, his efforts will continue to benefit society for many years to come. I hope to meet Chris again someday. I recently thought of Chris on a trip to New Jersey while driving by his house in Washington Crossing and also the church that he attended - Saint George.

Hé was so innovation kind and compassionate, hé influenced Many attorneys and others who loved thé law. I will truely miss him as so many others will.

Tina:

I can't express enough my deepest condolences to you and your family on losing Chris. I'll always remember him as the Old Bean! He was a wonderful presence in my life and left a lasting impact. He always acted with conviction and vision in all that he did. I'll miss him dearly, but will keep him forever next to my heart.

With warmth and all the love I can send your way.

I appeared before Judge Dietz on a regular basis in the mid-90's. He ruled his court and could be a challenging jurist. I will forever remember him as a good judge, nice person, and one who made me a better attorney. May he rest in peace.

I've known Judge Dietz for nearly 60 years as he was a political force in my home town of Rahway and throughout Union County.

My sincere sympathy to Chris's family. Chris was one of a kind that shaped so many of our lives. To say Chris is unique is truly an understatement.
Rest In Peace Christopher.

Sincerely,
