Not sure what to say?

I have such great memories working with Dieter when I worked for Ag Unlimited for 8 years. He was such a character and always a joy to see almost everyday. He shared stories and they were wonderful! Rest easy Dieter. Laurie Fullerton

We've lost our much-loved brother-in-law, who will always have a special place in our hearts. His gentle manner, his tender voice, his love of family and the land, and his dedication to growing food and flowers to share with all, made an unforgettable impression on his community and family. Dieter was the embodiment of small town spirit, caring, and friendliness that is valued by all who have lived it. So long, Dieter; you will be missed.

Our family moved across the road from them in 1953. A life long friendship grew out of that move. Our family has great memories of this wonderful family. Our condolences to the Renker family. With much love Jim & Kathy Hankins,David and Earlene Taylor and Perry Hankins.

Sue, Sad to learn if your father´s passing. While in Burlington this weekend, my folks recalled their visit with him on your family farm. They have a walnut seedling growing in their garden that was going to be pulled and thrown away. After reading your dad´s obituary and suggestions for memorials, we decided to rescue the walnut seedling, take it back to DSM, and replant it on our farm in memory of your dad! We send you our love and prayers. John and Shari

He will be missed by all of Big Valley people. Many a time would I visit with him regarding growing walnuts, etc. My condolences to the family.

Sue, the first time I met your dad when we went to the farm for pumpkins. He had such a pride and help the kids pick out some pumpkins. Then your mom helped my granddaughter pick out some flowers . I was so glad I got the opportunity to visit the farm many times and interact with them. My heart breaks for both you and your whole family. My family had planned to do some planting this weekend and we will do it in honor of your dad

Sharing time with Dieter and his delight in showing off his precious collection of rocks was so special. He had such a twinkle and loved to tell stories. He was a very special man and will be truly missed.
