Publish in a newspaper

Daniel R Dittberner "Ditty", age 86, of South Lyon passed away with his family by
his side on July 5, 2025, after a long battle with Lymphoma.
Ditty was born on November 17, 1938 in Detroit to Ralph and Edna, the eldest of
three boys. Ditty served in the US Army. Ditty worked for Ford Motor Company
for over 40 years. He was known for his ability to socialize with anybody and
everybody. Everyone was his friend, new or old. Ditty's passions were his
Harley's, fishing, and his very happy place on Sugar Island. He enjoyed traveling
with their camper and many adventures throughout Florida.
He is survived by his loving wife Gayle; his children Denise (Scott), Michelle,
Donna (Craig), and several grandchildren; Meghan, Nathan, Tyler, Mallory, Danny,
Alex, and Andrew.
His daughter Nancy preceded his death
His infectious smile and tenderness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of Ditty's life will be held at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, donations suggested to the Michigan Humane Society, 2937 E. Grand Blvd., Suite 800, Detroit, MI 48202
