The information that we have on John William Dies Sr, is that he was born 10/16/1934 in Heshban, PA. He died in 5/1976 in Akron, OH. We also think that he went by William. His father was Joseph F.Dies born 7/24/1912 and died 10/1965 also in Akron, OH. This is about all of the information that we have so far, hope you can help.
