In 2003, Dimos underwent treatment for [[cancer]] of the throat, but he was later declared cancer-free. He said that his health played no role in his decision to retire. "I love people. I love to help them. I love to help them solve their problems. If you don't like doing that, you don't need to be in public service," he added. Dimos indicated that he would rejoin his former Monroe law firm—Brown, Erskine, and Burkett—on a reduced schedule.
