I worked in the IBM Poughkeepsie branch office and as IBM began to structure Trading areas, I ended up working with Bill on a day to day basis in Albany and that was a blessing. I see a number of people have made comments on Bill and his consistent steady personality and that is oh so true. We worked together 4 or 5 years and I quickly learned to rely on and trust Bill's judgment on the many different facets of the job we did. Everyone leaned on Bill's knowledge and expertise.....surely we will all miss him and the kindness he shared with everyone he met.

My wife, Carol, and I extend our deepest condolences to the Diehl family on Bill's passing. I worked with Bill at IBM Albany for many years. He was a very intelligent, caring, calm man who I was happy to call "friend". Later on my wife and I found ourselves once again in each other's company as we all ushered at Proctors. Bill was the kindest Head Usher there and everyone thought highly of him. Our prayers are with the family - the world has lost a wonderful man but now he rejoins Henrietta. God Bless Him...

Bill was one of those people who you encounter once in a while, but not too often. Always Polite, and Humble with very strong character & values. I worked with him on and off the entire time I was at IBM Albany which was 20 years. I can say with 100% certainty that he completely embodied the values that once made IBM a great company and that attracted people from all walks of life. He and I once spent an evening together at 80 State Street standing guard the night the clocks turned from 1999 to the year 2000 not knowing what was in store for us or the rest of the world for that matter...but just another night for Bill Diehl! He was calm, confident and his usual unshakeable self. I'm glad I was able to share that common bond with him that night...He was one of the last of his breed. God Bless him as we were all blessed to be in his presence.

My wife Ann and I are saddened on hearing of Bills passing. We first met as co-workers at IBM. I moved on and became a customer of Bills. We also crossed paths several times at Proctors and Shaker. He is/was always pleasant, caring and with class in his dealings with people. Our sincere condolences and prayers for Bills family.
