He was born to the late Karl and Irmgard Schneider in Stuttgart, Germany on April 12, 1929. Rev. Bender led an interesting and amazing life.

He served in the US Army during the Korean War, and after leaving the service he married his sweetheart, Beverley Van Duzer, in 1954. Together they raised five children. Dieter became a New York State Trooper, and retired in 1978 after serving a full career.

He had been a Lieutenant at the State Police Academy, finally serving as a Captain at Headquarters Barrack at (Millbrook) Poughkeepsie, NY. He was described by NYSP colleages as “squared away, immaculately dressed, and always sharp”. He then went on to Seminary, and became a Methodist minister.

He is survived by his children: Robert Bender (Joyce) of Long Island, NY; Dale Bender (Diane) of Long Island, NY; E. Scott Bender (Clare) of Saugerties, NY; Peter Bender (Jane) of Morgantown, NC; and his daughter, April, who married Brian Benfer making for interesting times explaining the spelling is not an error.

A committal service with conferring of Military Honors will be conducted at the Delaware Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery, Millsboro, DE on Thursday, May 9, 2019 at 10:00 AM in their chapel.
