Dear Mrs. Beckmann: My wife Diana and I were so sorry to hear about Dieter. Dieter did a lot of work on our house at 87 South Battery and always did a great and thorough job. He also recently worked on a house at Vanderhorst for Diana and I believe you were involved on this one as well. Dieter was a wonderful person and a friend. we will both miss him.

Just know you all are in our thoughts and prayers - and will continue to be. I have so many memories of you all - Carol as a baby, Dieter and you with my parents from the early 70's.

I'm just so truly sorry for your loss. Sally White Greer

Ushi, Carol, and Ginger:
We all are so sad to hear of Dieter's passing. Your whole family has touched us through the years from Derek's participation with the Lightning to helping our house be as beautiful as it is today to our boys wearing German National Team jerseys! We will miss him, but we will never forget him. Love to all of you...

Carol-
We were very sad to hear of the death of your father. You are special to our family and we will be praying for you in the days ahead.

Dear Ushi and Family, I remember sitting with Dieter and Tommy K and laughing at their stories. I remember a very low part of my life when Dieter visited me with brotherly love and support. I won't forget him. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

To the Beckmann family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will remember him always. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ushi and family, I am very sad to hear of Dieter's passing. I played for him with the Charlestowne Lightning and at Bishop England High. He even took us to Europe and I will never forget all the memories. Soccer has given me much of what I have and I credit Dieter with a big part of that. He was great to play for and I will never forget him.

Ushi, I was deeply saddened by the passing of Dieter. His legacy of what he meant to the growth and development of soccer in the Lowcountry and more importantly to the people whose lives he touched will live on. To this day, I still check out how Armenia Bielefeld is doing when I look at the Bundesliga. My heart is with you today.

Dear Ushi,
I am very saddened after hearing of the passing of Dieter. I suppose in retrospect that we do not realize the impact that coaches have on our lives until many years later. As an adult now with teenage children I realize the awesome influence that coaches have on my children. I remember the numerous times that Dieter would come by my house and pick me up for practice when I did not have a ride. How many coaches do you know that would do that? I use the lessons that Coach Dieter taught me on the soccer field in my work and home life. He and you Ushi were very kind to me as a young man and I want you to know that I look back with great fondness and appreciation for all that both you did for me.

Ushi, I was so sorry to learn of Dieter's passing this weekend. He made such a positive impact on the lives of a generation of boys at the club. It was an honor to play and learn from such a great man. Peace be with you and your family.

Dear Ushi and Family:

It is with Great sadness in my heart to hear that Dieter is no longer with us. We have known oneanother since Dieter's arrival in the U.S. Terri and I will never forget all the wonderful years we spent together and the fun times had by all. The Holidays with "The Family" are a cherished memory imbedded in my mind forever.

To The Beckmann Family,

I was saddened to hear of Dieter's passing. I remember the days of our powerhouse Charlestowne Lightning soccer club with pride. Coach Dieter left a lasting positive impression on me. He was always dedicated to making us succeed and play our best. My prayers are with you all during this time of bereavement.

It is with great sadness to hear of Dieter’s passing. I owe my love of coaching youth soccer to one of the best tactical soccer coaches and a fine gentleman. Dieter was inspirational in the lives of the boys he coached. My sons carry that love of the game and have passed it to their sons. He may have passed but he never will be forgotten. I am sure God will have a place for his talents as a youth coach and building trades. May God’s peace be with his family.
