“Hi, my name is Gary Diehl. I was born and raised in Peekskill and have lived here my whole life. I started working for Assumption Cemetery in May of 1982. From the very first day, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I’ve always enjoyed working outdoors, while also providing comfort to families going through such a tough time in their lives. My wife, Diane, and I are blessed with three children – Craig, Ruby and Gary John – and our wonderful grandkids CJ, Emma, Olivia and Kaleb. Over the years, I’ve seen many changes within the cemetery and also within the community, but the one thing that never changes is the dedication of so many to the Assumption parish.”
