Phil’s family would like to thank Dr. Susan Choi as well as the wonderful team at Lourde’s Home Hospice for their special gift of love and care they showed Phil that will not soon be forgotten. A special thank you to mom’s nurse's aide Chris for the extra special love and care that she showed our mother to make her as comfortable as possible.

Edward Martin Dinga

July 10, 1935 - July 29, 2023

Edward Martin Dinga, a cherished resident of Oxford, NY, passed away at the age of 88. Born in Endicott, NY, he later made Vestal his home in 1965. With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to a man whose life was marked by passion, dedication, and love.

Among his five brothers, Eddie shared a special affection for the game of golf. An avid golfer, he honed his skills and earned a college golf scholarship to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. Throughout his life, he remained an ardent enthusiast of the sport.

His passion for teaching led him to become a beloved educator at Seton Catholic High School, where he made a lasting impact on young minds. Additionally, he embraced his role as a basketball coach, inspiring his players both on and off the court. Beyond his teaching career, Eddie dedicated part of his time to the Vestal recreation department, serving as a supervisor.

Edward also displayed unwavering loyalty and service to his country. Having been honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, he went on to serve an impressive 21 years in the army reserves before retiring.

In the professional sphere, Eddie's dedication was commendable. For two decades, he contributed his talents to the accounts payable office at Binghamton University, leaving a legacy of hard work and reliability.

Upon retirement, he sought the warm embrace of Florida's weather, basking in the sun's rays as he savored his leisurely days. Eventually, he found solace at the New York State Veteran Home, where he continued to touch the lives of those around him.

Edward Martin Dinga is survived by his three loving children, Kimberly Dinga, Kristen Stine, and Kurt Dinga, as well as his twelve nieces and nephews: William Dinga, Steve Dinga, Randy Dinga, Jan (Kaye) Dinga, Jay Dinga, Mary Ellen (Pabst-Denouden) Dinga, Jon Dinga, Michael Dinga, Jodi (Yesensky) Dinga, Jill (Hogan) Dinga,  Tony Dinga, Karen (Kudarauskas) Dinga, and his cherished grandchildren.

As he embarks on his final journey, he reunites with his parents, Joseph Dinga and Mary (Sisak) Dinga, along with 5 siblings and their respective partners: Joseph (Lucy) Dinga, William (Dorothy) Dinga, John (Julia) Dinga, Rudy (Lenoir) Dinga, and Robert (Mel) Dinga.

Edward Martin Dinga will forever be remembered as a loving father, a passionate golfer, a dedicated teacher, and a patriot. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to

be made to Seton Catholic High School for tuition assistance in Edward's memory. Let us come together to celebrate the life of this extraordinary man and cherish the memories he gifted us.  

May his soul find eternal peace.

Gary Schell

Gary is now at peace in heaven with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As he would often say,
even under the worst circumstances, “I’m in God’s hands.” On July 16, 2023 he was reunited
with his mom, Vivian and sister, Cheryl who were tragically killed in an auto accident in 1977.
He was badly injured in the accident and spent over a year in the hospital recuperating.

Born with Cerebral Palsy on March 18, 1947, life dealt Gary many difficult circumstances, but
his strong persistence and faith in God helped him to achieve many things he was told he would
never be able to do. His CP affected him physically but he always wanted people to know that
he had a good mind, so good in fact that he was able to earn a BA degree at Binghamton
University. He was able to live on his own in Florida for over 30 years, learned to drive a car,
and made devoted friends with people wherever he went. One of his favorite scriptures was
Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through him (Christ) who strengthens me.”

Gary had the gift of bringing out the love in people. The staff at Ideal Skilled Nursing Facility in
Endicott where he lived the last eleven and a half years, gave him much love and care and even
bestowed on him the title of “Nursing Home Activist” for his efforts to advocate for them and
the residents.

Gary leaves behind his special family, Tim and Virginia Wetherbee of Endicott, cousin Karen
Frobel of Chenango Bridge, cousin Barry Oliver of Johnson City, TN, aunt Marjorie Gorman and
cousins Louise Schabloski, David Gorman and John Gorman, all of Binghamton.

He will be missed by additional extended family and all the wonderful friends he made along his way.
There will be a memorial service for Gary at Pierce Hill Christian Fellowship, 232 Pierce Hill Rd.,
Vestal, NY 13850 on July 29 th at 11 a.m. with a light lunch to follow. In lieu of flowers, please
consider a donation in Gary’s memory to his church at this Vestal address.

Joe was a very hands on father and very passionate about coaching his son during his youth. 

   Joe loved the outdoors and before he became ill, he was always outside. Joe was a member of the Binghamton Gun club, and enjoyed spending a lot of his free time there. Joe was a highly skilled hunter and fisherman, he had unconditional love for his hunting dogs. It brought Joe extreme joy to teach his son and grandson’s how to hunt, fish, and shoot skeet! As, he had an impeccable shot!

   Our family would like to thank the Syracuse Veteran Affairs. In particular, Joe’s core support in the out-patient spinal cord unit. Especially Dr. Sapkota, his wonderful home nurse Joe, and his favorite nurse of all time Ola, who assisted in his health and comfort more than they will ever know! Along with the caregiver support program, who assisted us with multiple resources to care for him at home. We will be forever grateful for your kindness and support.
