Dietmar loved the Hazeltons’ area since arriving with Sally in 1994. They were welcomed into the community of Hagwilget, whom affectionately called the two ‘Mr. and Mrs. O’.  Mr. O taught ABE at the small hall and both were a part of the community for many years. 

Dietmar went on to teach at NWCC (CMC) until retiring due to his health in 2013. He was a brilliant, caring teacher of Mathematics, Science and Biology - helping many attain their GED and upgrading to further their careers. Teaching was his life’s passion. 

Dietmar will be dearly missed by members of his his extended families of the Marshall, Hobenshield, Ulrich and Ordowskis'. Along with his dear friends, fellow elders and community members.
