Donald G. Dietz

. . . and so it ends.

It is a long way for Don from southern Missouri and I from Webster Groves, MO.

One of Don's favorite remarks after one of his many good golf shots was: "I didn't get it all". We still use Don's line on the golf course to this day and it always causes us to think about a Don Dietz story. And it still will. Pax vobiscum.

Don Dietz will surely be missed. He was the ultimate salesman. If his sales pitch on the job was anywhere as good as off the job,he must have won many awards.
My fondest memory of Don was when he joined the trips I ran on Memorial Day week-ends at Hilton Head for tennis and golfing fun. This went on for about 10 years, and Don was always in rare form. I'll also miss him from our days in the Ann Arbor Ski Club.
You just can't replace guys like that.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I knew Don from the A2 Ski Club as well. He coached the Women's Slow Curves Softball Team for a couple of years. He was tough and there was definitely some crying in softball but it was because he wanted us to win. At Ski Club parties he always made sure the new women members danced. He had a soft heart and I will miss his friendship.

I knew Don as a neighbor at Lakeview Estates and through the Ann Arbor Ski Club. Besides golfing, he was an avid skier and a good tennis player. Don was always kind, friendly and a good friend. My prayers and sympathy go out to Don's family. We will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to Don's family. I've known Don since 1980. He was one of the first people I met when I joined the Ann Arbor Ski Club. He was always the life of the party with his funny one-liners, his warm spirit, and his constant smile. Don was one of a kind and he will be missed by all who have known him.

Don, you will missed by all that crossed your path. You were truly one of a kind and they definitely broke mold. Always quick with joke, a backhanded compliment, or a hand shake after a nice drive or a waggling putt. Full of laughter and a big smile, it was a pleasure to be in his company whether at work, at play, or participating in the many putting competition's on his Family Room floor, enjoying a few "Cold One's."

My deepest condolences, our thoughts and prayers are with...

To Don's family, know that he will be missed by many. To all of Don's friends, we all have a "Don" story and we will miss him, dearly. Hit 'em straight, Don.

My condolences to Don's Family.

He was a realy a stand up friend in and out of work.

Hi;

I worked with Don for many years at Dana. Don was a special person. When he entered a room, it was like it came alive with his presence. All his customers liked him. It was a pleasure working with Don over the years.
