He always asked about my family and Jimmy our uncle Jim, they went to school together. From all of the Cope family and my sister Nancy Mueller ❤

Dear Doug and family, So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you mourn this great loss. Praying for God to bring comfort and peace like only He can as you come together to share the many wonderful memories you have of your father. Janice

Jake and family- I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. He was always gracious to our family in business matters, and friendly no matter where we saw him. When Mom, Randy and I moved in a across the street from your house in 1969, he and your Mom were always very nice to us, which was a big thing for two young boys who weren't from DeSoto and felt alien to the neighborhood. But your Mom and Dad are together now, as we all will be in the not too distant future. We won't be able to make it tonight or tomorrow, I'm afraid, but you'll be in our prayers. May God bless you, strengthen you and keep you strong until you are home with them again. Lee & Verla Butcher

"Fred" Dietrich handled most of our family's funerals in a dignified and professional manner. Additionally, he was a good friend to my father-in-law, Marvin Bowles who was also a funeral director. Sending prayers for comfort and peace to all of Fred's family and friends.

Fred was a nice guy. Knew him since he was born. So sorry for your loss ellen schutte

Fred was such a nice man and had such a good sense of humor. I always enjoyed visiting with him just like I do enjoy visiting with Jake. I am so sorry for your families loss.

I have many fond memories of Fred, and Becky, from my youth. He was always kind and caring, not just because of his profession but due to the fact he was genuinely a nice guy. May the Dietrich family cherish the memories of their father, father-in-law, and grandfather.
