The Daningers have known the Dietrich families for years and have so appreciated the entire family. Wonderful people who know great values!
Hunting, Fishing, and Family. My memories are all fond memories. My thoughts are with the entire Dietrich Family. Always treated me like another son.
I had the privilege to work with Lloyd for many years. He taught me many things about being a good mail carrier and taking pride in your work. He was a very good and caring man. I’m proud to have known him.
As postmaster of Forest Lake, I had the privilege to get to know a wonderful and devoted man whom I greatly admired and I could always depend on him. God bless his memory.
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Lloyd’s military service to our nation.
