He was born in Cambridge, MA on June 24, 1952, the son of the late Richard and Emily (Smith) Dias.

He is survived by his sister Martha Chapman of Agawam, aunts, Shirley Hamer and Evelyn Waldron, nieces Nicole and Megan Chapman, several cousins, and sister in law, Lorraine Dias. He was predeceased by his brother, Thomas Dias.
Visitation will be on October 4, 2017 from 11am – 12pm at New England Funeral & Cremation Center, LLC, 25 Mill Street, Springfield, MA.
