Douglas Dieckman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Douglas was the kind of person who led by example showing love, kindness and generosity throughout his life. Whether offering a helping hand or words of encouragement he made sure that those around him felt seen., supported and valued. His gentle spirit and warm heart will be missed beyond measure.
He was preceded in death by his daughter Terrill Lynn Dieckman. He is survived by his wife, Joy Martin-Dieckman. He leaves behind his daughters Michelle Gullo ( Trevor Gullo), Jennifer Gibson (Ryan Gibson), and his sister Carolyn Bekoff (Ronnie Bekoff). He was a proud grandfather of Timmy Flanagan (Emily Flanagan), Ryan Gorman, Megan Gorman, Erin Gorman, Michael Gorman and Oz Cohen, who will carry on his legacy of compassion and strength.
He also leaves behind his cherished dog "Princess" who brought him immense joy and companionship in his later years.
A memorial service will be held in honor of Douglas at a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that acts of kindness be performed in Doug's memory, just as he so often did for others.
He will be deeply missed.
Arrangements under the direction of the Dapson Chestney Funeral Home, Rhinebeck, NY.
