DIBERT, Charles S. "Charlie" 91, of Medway died Wednesday, September 26, 2012 
in the Ohio Masonic Home. He was born April 25, 1921 in Tremont City, the 
youngest and last surviving of seven children of Samuel and Alta May (Bishop) 
Dibert. Charlie's first ten years at Robbins & Myers were interrupted by 
thirty-seven months service in the United States Army Field Artillery as a 
forward observer, with nineteen months in the European Theater. During the 
early stages of the Battle of the Bulge, he received injuries which sent him 
to an English Hospital for two weeks. About a year later he was retired from 
the service as a Staff Sergeant and was awarded the Purple Heart and the 
Bronze Star Medal. Upon returning to R & M after the war, Charlie worked the 
night shift so he could attend Wittenberg College. After graduating from 
Wittenberg, he returned to the Purchasing Department for ten years. Charlie 
then worked for Kelsey-Hayes for several years, and then transferred to Ledex 
Inc. in Vandalia, retiring as the Purchasing Manager after twenty-four years. 
During his lifetime, he was a member of Enon United Methodist Church, Medway 
Lions Club, Eagles Lodge, St. Andrews Lodge #619 F. & A.M, and he enjoyed 
dancing with his wife, Mary, and playing euchre. He had often mentioned that 
he and Mary were fortunate to have enjoyed twenty-one years of retirement 
together, whether it be via land, sea or air. He is survived by one son and 
daughter-in-law Gary Lee and Cathy Dibert of Laura, Ohio; one daughter and son-
in-law Kimberly Jo and Joe Shafer of Springfield; three grandchildren Sara 
Wilson, Heather Kreibel and Lori Runions; numerous nieces and nephews. He was 
preceded in death by his wife Mary Winona Dibert; four sisters Mabel Lois 
Seal, Lilly Ruth Smith, Esther Leona Printz and Mary Ellen Rowe; two brothers 
Lorn Vernon "Bud" Dibert and Paul Lawrence Dibert. Visitation will be Saturday
