RICHARD DEITRICK

Wow what a great man and physician. I started at CMA 26 years ago and this man taught me so much. I'm actually leaving this practice on 08/02/2019. CMA is not the same after all great Docs that made this practice.

Rich and Laura, I just heard about the passing of your father. He was a wonderful man and gentle Dr. He always told me about his trips that the family went on and the trips he and your mom went on. He was really proud of his family and enjoyed his time with them. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family . May god bless you and your family. Laurie Lang (Merrill Lynch) 412-559-8461.

I was so shocked and very saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Deitrick--your loving husband and father. He was such a fabulous man. He was a true family man and wonderful dctor. He would talk to me about his loving wife, Linda, and family. I felt I knew everyone in the famiy personally. How proud he was to work side by side with his son, David. That was so special to him. He was my doctor for 40 plus years. He was such a kind doctor and would give you as much time as you neded-never having you feel rushed. Dr. Deitrick delivered my daughter,Angela (30 years old), and twin sons, Christopher Deitrick and Michael Angelo (now 27 years old). From Christopher's middle name, you can see how special he was to me-as he is named after Dr. Deitrick and I still remember how proud my doctor was when he learned that my son was named after him!! And I could go on and on about the special man that he was. I can only imagine the list of wonderful memories all of the famiy has to hold close to them about your loving husband and father. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you.

Deepest sympathy. Dave Moore

and always be a hero in our family. I hope your wonderful memories of him can comfort you during this difficult time.

To Mrs. Deitrick and family,
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of your husband and father. He was my doctor for many years and was the most compassionate and caring doctor I ever had. He always spoke about his family and especially about your vacations together. Dr. David is now my physician and he truly has learned from the Master, his father. Linda Wengryn Pittsburgh, PA

Dearest Linda, Richie, David, Danny, Jeffrey, Kevin and Karen, When my Aunt called to tell me about your dad, Stan and I were heartbroken. He was one of the hero's of my life, he was an excellent physician but more than that, his passion, love and joy for what he did and how he lived life was a gift to all. Only to be surpassed by his love for his family, you were the light of his life and he beamed when sharing stories about you. Stan and I had the priviledge of teaching and/or coaching you and have come to love you want want you to know that we are with you in spirit and that you will be in our thoughts and prayers...This world has lost a great man.....love Collette & Stan Wilson

To Linda and family I am deeply saddened with the loss of my brother Dick. He was a great Dr., father, grandfather, and athlete! I will cherish the wonderful times we spent together as brothers. God Bless, Don and Marg Deitrick.

Thanking God for Dr. Deitrick's life and service to humanity; He took excellent care of me, when we had our first son, George, who later became the family's paper boy. He was compassionate and calming. Our condolences go to the family, while celebrating his life of love and caring to others.

When my dad told me that Dr. Deitrick died, he said - "great guy, always supportive" which referenced his all around support of Canevin High School. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Your family is in my prayers at this difficult time.

With my deepest sympathy to your family. Dr. Deitrick was my doctor for many many years and he was a very gentle and compassionate man and will be missed by all.

My last visit with Dr. Dietrick before his retirement was on a Good Friday and he told me of the Easter basket tradition being carried on with his grandchildren. It was obvious how much he loved you all. He never forgot to mention at my appointment that I was his newspaper girl years ago as I had grown up in your neighborhood. He was a wonderful man and doctor to my mother and I. We are so sorry for you loss.

Dear Family Members,
Sincere sympathy for the loss of Dr.Deitrick. I had the pleasure of having
both Dr.Deitricks about 5 years ago because of a problem which I needed
surgery. Words cannot express how grateful I am for having met them.
May you remember all the wonderful years together and hold them close to your heart.
God Bless

Alice Smith.. Dr's Patient for 30 years and I loved him and will miss him I feel I have lost a good friend

Dear Mrs. Deitrick and family,
Thanking God for your loved ones's life and praying for you as you grieve your loss. Dr. Deitrick was a great doctor and I was thankful for him.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Dietrich several times. He was a doctor to many people in my family and we are all deeply saddened by the loss of this very special man. It is such a beautiful thing to see that one man had such an impact on so many lives. How proud you all must be! Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Linda and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Dietrick. He was a great and very special person. I will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.

To the Deitrick Family, Our deepest sympathy to all of you. My husband Don went to Pitt with Dick. He grauated with him and his picture is next to his in the Owl. Later, our family of six were his patients before he was a ob/gyn. I was one of his first gyn patients and continued to be until he retired. Always a smile and gave all his attention in the office. always gave the best advice. When God called him home , I think he said. "Well done my Son" Don and Marlene Delligatti

Dear Kevin, Karen and
Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. May the memories you have of your dad keep him in your heart always.

To the family of Dr. Richard Deitrick,

I had the privllage of working over 30 years at Woodville State Hospital when he was a medical doctor. With his great work ethics he treated all of the staff and patients excellent. He will hold a special place in my heart
by the acts of kindness that he showed me by working with him. May god richly bless you during this difficult time.

Dear Mrs. Deitrick and family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. D's passing. I had the privilege of working with him at AGH for several years. And had him for my gyne doctor for almost 35 yrs. What a wonderful man and doctor he was. He always had time to inquire about my life and family.......and loved to tell me all about his wonderful family, esp his grandchildren!

Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. He will be missed by so many

My deepest sympathy.

Dear Dr. David & Karen,
My deepest sympathy to both of you. Your dad was my remarkable doctor whom I knew for over 30 yrs. I can still picture him sitting in the exam room wearing his beautiful dress slacks and shiny shoes as he asked how I was doing and what was new with me before he examined me. Somehow Hilton Head always came up in our conversation. He so looked forward to that wonderful vacation every year with ALL of his children and their families. I was always hoping that your father would some day return to practice.

He is at peace now and smiling down at you. May God give you strength during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Linda (I remember you as Linda Cicco) I am so sorry for your loss. What a great guy he was. I remember both of you so well. He was an intern at St. Joseph's Hospital, and you were a student nurse with me. We had a lot of great times there together. Your wonderful marriage and life together is a great testament to both of you. I want to remember those good times. Your nursing student friend, Judy Wilt Lorigan. (I hope you remember me)

To the Deitrick Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and your family is in our hearts and prayers. I never had the privilege to meet Dr. Deitrick, but from the responses he defiantly made an impact.

Dear Deitrick Family,
I am very sorry for you're loss. The "Doc" as we called him was a very special man to the football players at Canevin in the early 80's. He was someone besides my own father that I looked up to and very much respected. I am living out of town, you will all be in my prayers.
Johnny Moore

Linda,
You have my deepest regrets on the loss of your husband. Please don't make it too long before coming back to visit.

Dear Deitrick Family,
All of my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Dr. Deitrick delivered both of my children, some 34 and 33 years ago. He was a wonderful, caring man with so much compassion in his heart. He always had a smile on his face, and his gentleness and kindness made things so much better. The medical community has lost a wonderful person.

To the Dietrick family

My child is now 29 years old and would not be here today if it weren't for Dr Dietrick - He was my doctor for many years and a compassionate and trusted doctor to many. I am now a paitient of his son Dr David and can see where he got his humor,compassion and great dedication. I thank your family for your sacrifice so that we all had the opportunity to have such a good doctor in our lives. He will be truly missed by many.

My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. Doctor Deitrick delivered my husband and my son. He was a very special and caring man. He always asked how the family was and took the time to listen. Then in return he would share stories about his family. His family meant everything to him. I am truly sorry for your loss. Virginia David

Dear Karen, I know how you loved your Dad so....My prayer is that your heart will heal in time....my wish is that he is now with Bob...both watching over us.
I love you,
Phyllis

I am so sad to hear of Dr Deitrick's passing. I just saw David on Friday and forgot to ask how he was doing since retirement. This is just so sad and I am sorry for the loss of a great man and great doctor. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It was a pleasure to get to know him and he was the one that delivered me 35 years ago. He also helped me through my miscarriages before I had my daughter 7 years ago. You can see how much of an angel he truly was.

I was real shocked to hear of the passing of Dr. Deitrick. As many of the others have, I too had this wonderful man as my doctor for over 30 years. He delivered my two sons. We had many conversations regarding Canevin High School where my children and his children attended. I always appreciated his compassionate and kind demeanor. He will be deeply missed.

Dan,

I am very sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Dietrick Family,
My wife and I are deeply saddened by Dr. Dietrick's passing. He was my wife's family doctor earlier in her life and later cared for her through the pregnancies and deliveries of our two children. We are very privileged to have known him and experienced his wonderful, caring spirit. Our lives are richer thanks to him. May God bless all of you and his wonderful memory.

Some people come into your lives, and you never forget them. Dr. Deitrick was one of them. I met him more than 50 years ago when he was an intern at St. Joseph Hospital on the Southside of Pittsburgh. He truly was a kind and compassionate person. My sympathies to his family.

August 09,2011
Dear Deitrick Family,
My deepest sympathies, no one needs to tell you what a special man Dr. Deitrick was - you had him on a everyday basis. He was such a gentleman and truly cared about the people he met. He helped me thru a very difficult time in my life (34 years ago) and he will always have a very special place in my heart. He touched many people and he will live forever in their hearts. The medical field was never the same after he retired. God Bless

Dear Linda and Family,

Hugh and I were so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Although we did not know him as well as we would have liked, I was impressed by the other messages that were written. We need more doctors like Dr. Deitrick. He was a "giant among men" and you and your family should be very proud of the life he lead. With much sympathy, Hugh and Karen McMullen

Dear Deitrick Family,
Dr. Richard was always such a gentleman and a gentle man...It was always nice to see him in the halls at Mercy. He will be missed by all..My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Deitrick Family,

I was very saddened by seeing that Dr. Richard Deitrick had passed away. He was my doctor for around 35 years. My sincere sympathy to all. He was the best and will be missed.

His patient and friend,
Joanne Petrillo

DR DEITRICK WAS A GIANT AMONG MEN. I FIRST MET HIM AS A VISITING PHYSICIAN IN THE EARLY 1970'S @ WOODVILLE STATE HOSPITAL. HE TREATED "THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS" WITH SUCH KINDNESS,EXPERTISE & A GENTLE CALMING,PEACE...NEVER RUSHED THE PATIENT VISITS OR QUESTIONS. STAFF & PATIENTS LOOKED FORWARD TO HIS VISITS. I ALWAYS FELT REASSURED THAT MY PATIENT'S RECEIVED THE BEST CARE WHEN DR DEITRICK VISITED. WHEN I BECAME PREGNANT W/ MY FIRST CHILD IN 1977 THE CHOICE WAS SO EASY...BECAUSE IN MY EYES, HE WAS THE EPITOME OF A TRUE DOCTOR & HUMANITARIAN..AND I KNEW MY BABIES & I WERE IN THE BEST HANDS POSSIBLE.. IN MY 38 YRS AS AN RN, VERY FEW DOCTORS HAVE MEASURED UP TO THE HIGH STANDARD OF DR RICHARD DEITRIK. GOD BLESSED US WITH YOUR PRESENCE,DR DEITRICK...TIL WE MEET AGAIN. MY THOUGHTS & PRAYERS TO ALL OF HIS BELOVED FAMILY. SINCERELY, PEG PIPPI RN

I was referred to Dr. Deitrick by Dr. Terence Philbin 15 years ago. What a truly compassionate doctor! He put me at ease immediately! He helped me through some very difficult times and I have never forgotten his kindness and how his eyes would light up when he spoke of his beloved wife and children! He always had "all the time in the world" for each of his patients and was quick to return a phone call to answer questions, listen to my concerns, and reassure me that all was fine. God Bless you, Dr. Deitrick!

To his family...over time, may your tears of sadness be replaced with smiles as you recall your many special memories of him!

Mentor and fellow Chairperson at Mercy Hospital as well the first to welcome in our youngest son. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

David & family,

I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family!!

Dear Mrs. Deitrick & Family:

I am very thankful to Dr. Deitrick for the excellent medical care he provided me, his compassionate advice, his friendly ear, funny quips & quirky jokes. He delivered both of my children and took every precaution to ensure that they had the best start in life. May the good doctor rest in peace and enjoy eternal life with the Lord.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Dietrick's family. I started going to him over 30 years. He was the most kind and gentle person I know. Not only have you lost a great father and friend but the entire community has lost the best doctor there ever was. (David is coming in a close second). He always talked so lovingly of his wife and children I felt like I knew them personally. He certainly made a difference in this world. He will be greatly missed.

My prayers are with you all, Dr Deitrick was a very good Doctor, had the pleasure working with him at Century Medical, he was a very proud man, his patients adored him, God be with you all at this sorrowful time.

When I was a little girl, Dr Deitrick was my family doctor. My grandparents, my mom & myself were all patients. His office was in the basement of a green building on Greentree Road. When he specialized, my mom & I both went to him. He was the most gentle, patient, understanding physician that I have ever had. He touched the lives of many people. The world needs more people like him. I feel blessed to have known him for so many years. My deepest sympathy to the Deitrick family.

Dear Mrs. Deitrick and Family...My heart goes out to all of you in sincere sympathy for the loss a husband, father, grandfather and friend. Dr Deitrick is proof that God only takes the best.

I feel so much sorrow to have seen the passing of Dr D..I agree with all the other tributes.It was my pleasure to have known him as my doctor.He delivered 2 of my children,and when we had our 4th pregnancy,our insurance changed,I could not go to AGH.I called him,and he went over my entire list of new OB's,and helped me select someone.I never will forget him.always took the time with me..felt like his only patient at times.I am so very sorry for your loss.

David and all of the Deitrick Family,
Denny and I are sending our thoughts to all of you during this difficult time. Richard was a great and caring man. He will be missed by his many devoted patients and by all that knew him.
