Michael Stephen Dietz

My very deepest sympathies to all -- Even though Uncle Mike and his family have been a great distance away for many years I have a lot of really wonderful and endearing memories from my childhood . . . like talking about movies and toys with Uncle Mike who seemed to completely understand and facilitate my obsession with all-things Star Wars. Uncle Mike would not only talk to you, but would also 'listen' attentively . . . he was always ready to share a nugget of information or an interesting fact with a story attached that personlized it (much like his father) . . . I remember that he took time to take us camping one summer as well (believe it was Tracey, Todd, Ben and myself -- and Uncle Mike was fighting a nasty toothache at the time), which I admire and appreciate a great deal.

Looking back, I will remember that Uncle Mike was a very warm and thoughtful guy who really loved his family very much.

What better legacy can someone really leave?

My best to all during this tough time. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
