William S. Dietrich II was on CMU's campus in September for the announcement
of his historic gift.
William S. Dietrich II, the philanthropist and former steel executive who
recently gave large gifts to Pitt and CMU, has died.
Mr. Dietrich, 73, died yesterday, according to John A. Freyvogel Funeral
Home.
His recently announced gift of $265 million to Carnegie Mellon University is
one of the 10 largest ever by an individual to higher education in the
United States, university officials said. Later last month, a gift of $125
million to Pitt was announced. Both gifts were effective upon his death.
Both gifts also are substantially larger than either university's previous
largest gifts -- $41.3 million for Pitt in 2007 from Ansys founder John
Swanson and $55 million for CMU in 2004 from Wall Street investor David A.
Tepper and his wife, Marlene.
Bill Dietrich was born May 13, 1938, in Pittsburgh to Kenneth and Marianna
Brown Dietrich, who had met while students at Thiel College in Greenville.
In 1959, his father started a small lumber company near Blairsville, which
would become Dietrich Industries, a steel distribution and products company.
A year after graduating from Princeton in 1960, the young Dietrich came
back to work for the firm, taking over its day-to-day operations a few years
later and transforming it into the country's largest manufacturer of light
steel framing for construction, with 19 plants in 17 states employing more
than 1,800 people. | b*********e
