Dietzer wad not only my neighbor boy but a very good friend. We had so much fun together as children in Lime Ridge. I won't elaborate on that. 🤪. I haven't seen David throughout the years. I feel sad for Cindy and his children. I hope they had a bottle of pop and a bag of potato chips waiting for you Dave.

Sad to see this name and face in the obits this morning. Brought back many memories of growing up in Lime Ridge. David was a year older than me, and such a tease. He had a nickname for me - Beatlebug - never knew why, and no one else ever called me that. We went to the same church, and lived just a couple farms away. I haven’t seen him since he graduated. I remember him as very fun loving and I’m sure his family will miss him.
