So sorry to hear of your family's loss. I am sending up prayers for your family.
I know John from working at The New York State Veterans home. It was a pleasure to have been able to spend time and assist with his needs as a resident on Pine.
May the Lord carry you through this time of loss and bless you with all the wonderful memories you have.
Blessings,
Vicki

Uncle Johnny you will be greatly missed by all. I fondly remember the "Shotgun dance moves" it would wear me out after only one dance. Uncle Johnny had so much energy. He had a keen sense of humor like none other! I loved all the stories of life reality. I'm glad he and dad James Dietzman got to take a trip to Indiana to meet the Dietz side of the family and reunite! Your dancing in heaven now on those streets of gold!

Uncle John left a lasting impression to everyone he met. He was one of strong character who instilled lasting memories to each of his children and those who knew him. His work ethic, his respect and dedication to his home, farm, and family, as well as supporting and defending our country during time of war will always be remembered by me. I will always treasure the stories he told during family reunions and grateful for the time spent with him. Rest in peace Uncle Johnny. Love you.
