Jim H. Diller

Jim Diller was a "get things done" kind of guy. We here at MCTI will miss him very much. Jim did a great deal to bring the school back to the place it is now.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, my prayers are with you all at this time of your sorrow.

I worked for Mr. Diller in the Muskegon office. He was a fine man and a pleasure to have for a boss. I send my most sincere condolences to his wife and the entire Diller family.

Death is not extinguishing the light, it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. So the Christian soul in death soars home to God.

I was shocked to hear of your sudden loss. I served with Jim for many years on the Pioneer Resource Board in Muskegon where he was president for several years. He was a tireless leader and advocate for adults with physical and mental challenges.
Jim will be missed by the many lives that he touched. My prayers are with his family at this time of sorrow. Ron PreFontaine

Mr. Diller was a wonderful man, as a graduate of Michigan Career and Technical Institute, I remember meeting with him upon my graduating to ask him for a job as an assistant instructor. He always made time to talk with me whenever we saw each other at the Michigan Rehabiliation Association Conference in Traverse City. I will miss his kindness and gentle spirit. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you strength and a sense of his peace during your time of loss.

Mary Jane and family,
My thoughts and love are with you all in this time of loss. I have many fond memories of times spent with your family. One of my favorites is of Jim eating a pizza that Tam and I had made. Of course, it had a 1/4 cup of pepper in it instead of the 1/4 teaspoon called for. But Jim forced it down(with several glasses of water as I recall)and told us how good it was. The red, tear-filled eyes told another story!
More than laughter though I remember his...

I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed Jim's sense of humor. I always told him that he looked just like Garth Brooks...he only need the hat!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear James and Family:

Just a note to let you know that I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. May fond memories be a source of comfort during this difficult time.
