Vincent Dieter

July 21, 1934 — July 4, 2020

Vincent N. Dieter, 85, of Walnutport, passed away Saturday, July 4, 2020 at St. Luke’s Hospital, Bethlehem.   He was the husband of Judith A. (Reitz) Dieter. They were married May 28, 1977.   Born in Cherryville on July 21, 1934, he was the son of the late C. Leon and Gladys (Oplinger) Dieter.   A talented high school baseball player, he still holds the record for highest batting average for Northampton Area High School at .591.   Vince was a graduate of Muhlenberg College with a degree in Business.   He served his country honorably and proudly as a member of the US Army.  He was President/Owner of Dieter’s Foundry in Cherryville and Dieter’s Snowmobile Shop in Berlinsville.  His last business venture was Lehigh Machine, Inc., which he and Judy operated together.  Vince was a trustee for the former Palmerton Hospital, and Board Director for the former First Lehigh Bank, Walnutport, and enjoyed coaching his son’s Lehigh Township Little League teams.   He was a long time Dodgers fan, avid snowmobiler and his favorite mode of transportation was his Kubota and John Deere tractors.   Vince’s greatest passion was taking care of his property.  He was a “Hero” to many.
