He was also a trustee for another local college, The University of Rio Grande.[1] Dave Diles died on December 29, 2009 after a long battle with cancer which caused him to have a stroke. He was 78 years old.[1][3][4] Diles’ hometown named a park after him. The Dave Diles Park is named in his honor located in his hometown of Middleport Ohio, along the banks of the Ohio River. Meigs County is unrecognized by the sponsors at Ohio History Central to some degree. In published accounts of Israel Putnam of the Ohio Company and Revolutionary War officer, his land holdings,(Rutledge and Bedford Townships) in Ohio are ignored. Not as famous as his family member Rufus Putnam certainly, but worth a footnote at least in the post Revolutionary War period through the Civil War.
