Dr. Frederick R. Dietz

Remembering Freddy is like remembering childhood. His Smile and character was like a sunny day in summer. He will always be rememered by myself and all the leibtag family as golden star in our lives.

Dr. Dietz saved my life. A month before my 6th birthday, I ended up with bacterial meningitis. I barely made it out alive but this man and other doctors and nurses didnt give up on me. He ended up being my primary care doctor for many years after that. He was hands down the best doctor Ive ever had. And he was so good with kids. One of my favorite memories was when he came in my room to check on me before he left for vacation. He came in with his doctor coat and scrubs but was wearing...

Im so sorry to hear about Dr Dietz. He was my daughters doctor for 20 years. He was the first doctor we saw when she was airlifted to IC. He was such a wonderful gentle man. I had wanted to get ahold of him to let him know our sweet daughter Hannah Jacobs passed away today at the age of 32. I know theyll meet up in Heaven. Im so sorry for your loss.

I was a patient his From the 1982 until 2005-2006. I just recently googled his name to see if he was still in office. It makes me sad to hear of his passing he was a great guy and dr. To his family ur in my thoughts and prayers.

Fred was one of the good people of all time; he had a handle on life and did not have an evil hair on his head. It breaks my heart I will not be able to play tennis with him again, or have a stimulating discussion with him, or just brunch with a friend. Farewell Fred, we miss you!

"It's been a pleasure," Fred messages in his obituary.
Indeed, it has been, but not long enough.

To Freddy, Hank, Susie, Margaret and Dick and Johnny,

Growing up on Morley, the Dietz and Pinsky families were close. Although I was a bit older than the Dietz kids, I knew they were all special: bright, curious, good humor, friendly and even then spiritual. It was devastating when Dick and Johnny died, and I am sure all that the family has given in so many ways reflects on that loss. My colleagues at U. Iowa have told me how important Freddy was to the University and the patients....

spending two days reading about this extraordinary man, am still at a lack for words...probably to have had the opportunity to meet him would have meant either a club foot or some other medical scenario, so reading simply has to be enough.
a human being to affect and help so many is a gift to the world, not to mention being from Zorgopt. surely, family and friends feel unbelievably blessed; love lasts forever, and his works will live on and on. thank you for sharing his beautiful...
