Diesel was the most influential man in my life. He taught me how to work and navigate the difficulties of life during my developmental years. He was a mentor sent by God. His final wisdom shared with me was to know and follow Jesus.

I'm very sorry to hear of Diesel's passing. Anyone who met him knew what a genuine treasure of a man he was. Although he was an important member of the stage crew at Greenville Little Theatre and made the magic happen while out of the limelight, I remember one unforgettable moment when he made a rare appearance on stage. During one of the musical numbers in "My Fair Lady", Diesel in full Cockney attire bounded across the stage and did a somersault into the orchestra pit! The audience could scarcely believe their eyes. Like I said. Unforgettable! May god bless you, Susan, and keep you until your tears turn to smiles again.

I remember Diesel well from GLT days. He was a very dear, very sweet person, caring lovingly for his children and working tirelessly for GLT. He even appeared in at least one play back in the 1970’s - “Tom Sawyer” Diesel has crossed my mind several times in recent years, and I have wondered how he was. Deepest condolences to his wife and children.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Even though we were neighbors, and didnt spend a lot of time together, i must say that Diesel and Susan are the very best kind of neighbors. I always knew if i or my family needed help or prayer they would be there. Diesel was a very kind, Godly, gentle man. He loved his familiy, and his horses. A kind of man that was from a mold that seems to becoming more and more rare. My father n law was of that same mold. Diesel will be missed terribly. Love, your neighber, The McDonald Family

Susan and all - Another legend is gone from the scene. Diesel was an amazing person, and I am so much better for having known him. GLT simply could not have progressed had it not been for Diesel and his hard work and creativity. He will be missed. Thinking of you and your family. Mike
