JOHN DIEL WAS THE BEST 2ND DAD I EVER HAD. I HAVE ALL THESE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF HIM AND ANN. I ALWAYS HAD TO CALL THEM MR AND MRS DIEL AND WHEN I GOT OLDER, IT WAS HARD TO CALL THEM JOHN AND ANN. LYNETTE AND I WERE INSEPERABLE AS KIDS. I WAS OVER HER HOUSE PLAYING TROUBLE AND YAHTZEE UNTIL MR DIEL CAME IN AND TOLD US TO BE QUIET! HE ALWAYS TREATED ME LIKE ONE OF THEIR OWN. I ALWAYS LAUGHED AT HIM, NOT TO HIS FACE, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS HAD TO SMELL HIS FOOD BEFORE HE ATE IT. HE WILL BE MISSED.
