Dana Carl Ditmore

I worked with Dana´s son, John and knew of Dana from Amat field engineers that I crossed paths with at customer sites. They always had positive respectful things to say about his leadership and about him. I met Dana once when I was traveling for work with John, and he treated me warmly and as though I was family - and I still remember that evening fondly 31 years later. He made a difference in the world! My thoughts are with his family.

I came to know Dana through his service on the Charter School of Morgan Hill and Charter School of Morgan Hill Foundation Boards. He was committed to the work of these organizations and so many others to which he gave his time so generously. He was one of the most special people that I have ever met. I know his memory will be a blessing to his wonderful family and all who were fortunate to call him their friend.

I loved Dana Ditmore since my days at Applied, and was thrilled when he came to work as VP at LRC. He was always good to me and I appreciated his kindness to me. RIP my friend

I knew Dana from Applied Materials, where on more than one occasion, the sage advice he gave me helped me. in the product division, to work more effectively with his team, in the service division. Dana was always willing to listen and help further that cooperation and teamwork.

I first met Dana in 1980 when he recruited me to join Applied Materials. That first introduction resulted in a friendship and professional relationship lasting more than 4 Decades. Dana was a superb human being and a mentor to me in my two separate "tours of duty" at Applied. Dana and Elaine set a great example as a married couple, parents and friends. I always got a kick out of Dana´s referral to Elaine as his "First Wife" - clearly his first and only wife and clearly his First Lady! I...

Dear Elaine and family, I am so sorry for your loss-and the world´s loss-of Dana. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dana on the Board of the Charter School of Morgan Hill. He was a bright light of great ideas, good humor, thoughtful leadership and generous with his time. Dana will be missed.

I have returned to read every new message that arrives. So many messages speak of Dana's Love of Family and his never-ending Positive Energy. He touched us in exactly the same ways. I am misty-eyed now to know that Dana will be in Heaven's Gate with his warm greetings. I truly find him to be a most remarkable Man. Rest in Peace, Dana. You are in our thoughts.
