Charles T. "Charlie" Dietrich, Jr. Mason Age 87; passed away April 25, 2010 Born August 12, 1922 in Red Lion, PA to Charles and Daisy Dietrich. He was preceded in death by both parents and four older sisters. Charlie is survived by his wife, Janice, of 40 years and daughter, Charyl (Jerry) Reynolds and her three children. Also surviving, is his 5th sister, Jo, plus three great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. And, lest we not forget, his dog, Toby. After serving in the U.S. Army during WWII, he attended Susquehanna University. After graduation, he joined Central Soya Company and retired as the Great Lakes Sales Manager. He then joined Kent Feed Company as Vice President, Great Lakes Region where he retired a second time at 69 years of age! Not a man to sit around, he then became a feed consultant for Mason Elevator where he was still working at age 87! It is obvious, he loved selling feed! Charlie was blessed in having many wonderful friends and very special neighbors. At a later date, it was his wish, that these great people gather for a celebration of his life. The passions in his life were spoiling his wife, playing golf, reading good books and, of course, selling more animal and poultry feeds. At Charlie's request, cremation will take place and there will be no funeral or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, and should you desire, contributions in his name may be made to a charity of your choice. His family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Sparrow Hospital for the wonderful care and compassion shown to Charlie and his wife, Jan. |
