He was the older of two children to the late Mattias Hermann Baumann and Cecelie Radtke.  Dieter is predeceased by his beloved wife, Helga E. Baumann and son, Wolfgang KH Fuchs. 

Dieter was born during the Great Depression and grew up in the devastation of World War II. His beloved Opa taught him so much about life and would often share what he learned to his children and grandchildren.

Dieter spent his entire life helping others; along with Helga they raised their children to do the same.  For 15 years, he was an assistant Boy Scout leader for Wolfgang’s troop.  He enjoyed photography and developed and processed all of his photos.  Dieter never said no to assist anyone needing a helping hand.  He spent many years as the Volunteer Director of Building and Grounds for Crossroads House. He put so much of his blood sweat and tears into providing necessary building improvements for the house. He was affectionately known as “Dr. Dieter”.  Dieter always helped his grandchildren and great-grandchildren in any way needed; he was a taxi driver, a builder of things, a teacher and all around supporter of them.  His family and friends always knew that he had so many stories to share about his extraordinary life.

Dieter is survived by his sister Karin Demme of Niederbiel, Germany, daughters Birgitt (Gary) Hammond of Corfu, NY, Linda (Richard) Conroy of Batavia, NY, five grandchildren Jennifer (Jeff) Miller, Jason (Jennifer Beedham) Hammond, Tara (John) Kaczorowski, Michelle (Chris) Geoghegan, and Juliana Fuchs; four great-grandchildren Madison, Wolfie, Lily and Ava and nieces and nephews both in the US and Germany.
