Daniel Jack Diller

Daniel Jack Diller returned to his heavenly home on January 19 at the age of 77. His firm belief in God supported him always and ultimately gave him great comfort as he passed peacefully at his home in Sarasota with his loving wife, Diane (Harper) Diller at his side.

Dan was born July 29, 1942 in Findlay, Ohio. He graduated in 1960 from a small class at Ottawa High School with great friends he cherished over the years. He had a blessed life and loved his family and friends.

Dan is survived by his wife, Diane, and his four children, Maria (Diller) Grismore of El Paso, TX, Jeffrey Diller (and wife, Heather) of Acworth, GA, Scott Diller (and wife, Sunshine) of Columbus, OH, and step-son, Joshua Harper (and wife, Stephanie) of Sarasota, FL.

He is also survived by one sister and two brothers, Debbie (Gerding) Hermiller (and husband, Roger) of Ottawa, OH and Tom Diller (and wife, Linda of Ottawa, OH, and Noble Diller (and wife, Lisa) of Aiken, SC.
