Dieter was a Mason by trade. He held many jobs over the years, did a lot of side work and

retired from the Physical Plant at Syracuse University. He enjoyed spending time with his family,

playing slot machines in the casino, and scratching NYS instant lottery tickets. He was an avid

NY Giants, NY Yankees and NY Rangers fan. He loved to “have a cold one” while watching the

games.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to The Fahey staff for caring for him in his final
