Dietmar Maximilian Schoeffel, 86, died peacefully at Lahey Hospital in Burlington MA on September 16, 2017. Born July 8, 1931 in Czechoslovakia, he became an Engineering Master and started two small businesses before immigrating to America 1957. He founded Schoeffel Instruments (Westwood, NJ) an early adopter and worldwide provider of high pressure liquid chromatography spectral fluorescence and absorbance detectors. He later acquired McPherson Instruments (Acton, MA). Both companies manufacture scientific instruments used for spectroscopy and that measure light and color. He was always active; an entrepreneur, avid sailor, hiker, and dancer. Most of all he enjoyed coming to work at his business every day. He will be missed.
