Dieks, John (September 1, 1930 – November 27, 2024)
John Dieks passed away peacefully at AgeCare in Aylmer on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. He was 94 years old and formerly resided at Park Place in Tillsonburg. Born in Germany, John was the son of the late Weenen Dieks and Mary Zimmerman. Throughout his life, John embraced various roles with dedication. He started as an elephant caretaker in a circus, then trained as a gas fitter in Germany, worked on pipelines, and served as a maintenance worker at a foundry. In 1955, he moved to Canada with his family and took a job at the Leitch Gold Mine in Geraldton. He and his wife Karola later opened the Delmar Restaurant in Beardmore, Ontario. Following the mine’s closure, John settled in Kitchener, Ontario, where he worked for Dare Foods and spent the majority of his career as a truck driver. He was an avid model train collector, a keen photographer, an outdoor enthusiast, and in his younger days, a bicycle racer.
John was the dearly beloved husband of Karola Thea Dieks for 71 years (who predeceased him on October 29, 2024), and a loving father and father-in-law to John (Udo) Dieks and his wife Peggy of Cambridge, and David Dieks and his wife Rose of Tillsonburg. He was a proud and affectionate grandfather to Marlene and Mike Laurin of Cambridge and Ashley Dieks and Chris of Sudbury. He is survived by his sister-in-law Helga Shur in Germany, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins in Germany.
