FRANK DIEDERICH

I would love to talk to Margaret. Dors anypne know where she might be and how to contact her.

I Remember sitting with Frank at some Rally somewhere, it was late, we were testing some sweet libations, and had solved most of the worlds problems. Frank looked over and said, Mike ya know, I hope to remember this for ever, everything is right with the World at this moment. Thats how I will remember Frank, At peace with the World, and as joyfull as you can be. I will miss you my friend.

I have been friends with Frank and Margaret since the early seventies sharing many BMW rides and winter campouts in those earlier days. We kept in touch by phone and Email in the more recent years. I will miss him.

My condolences to both Karen and Margaret.

I was friends with Frank for many years. I still remember rides on our BMW's together, roads passing beneath our wheels, and the Joy of Travel and Friendship. I have spoken with him over the years and will always remember him as a true friend, and a leader in the Chicago BMW community.

We valued Frank and Margaret's friendship and his help in writing. Very sincere sympthy to dear Margaret. Lois Ann and Harold Larson

It was my pleasure to write and article about Frank for the BMW Owners News several years ago. Frank called and we spoke for almost an hour. He impressed me as a true "Gentleman" in every sense of the word.

The BMW motorcycle community has lost on of the founding fathers of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America. He will be missed.

My condolences to his family and friends.

All of Frank's friends from the Chicago Region BMW Owners Association, of which he was a founding member in 1969, join in expressing our condolences to Margaret and his family and friends. Although we cannot be present for the memorial services, we stand with you in spirit.

We enjoyed many years of friendship with Frank Diederich and his wife Margaret. It will seem strange to go to Las Vegas now knowing we will no longer be spending one day visiting and dining with them. Knowing Frank, wherever he is, Im sure he is keeping those around him entertained with his writings, as he is very talented with the mighty pen.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Diederich through my work. I always enjoyed our conversations. It was sad to see them both in declining health, especially Frank over the last year or so, but their smiles were still there and I will always remember them. I offer my sincere condolences to Frank's friends and family.
