Dietrich Scholz

Dietrich E. Scholz, 81, Carmel, passed away April 6, 2015, surrounded by his family. He was born November 4, 1933, in Berlin, Germany, the son of the late Hans and Elisabeth (Binet) Scholz. He married his sweetheart, Ursula (Soerensen) Scholz, on March 17, 1962. She preceded him in death on July 7, 2002. Dieter came to the United States via Ellis Island in 1957, and then he served in the U.S. Army, where he perfected his baking skills. After being discharged from the Army, he returned to Indianapolis, where he owned and operated two different locations of Gourmet Bakery and Tiffany's Bakery in Glendale. His grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he loved spending time with them and the rest of his family. He could always be found working in his well-manicured yard and tending to his garden, especially his famously gigantic tomatoes. He and his wife loved to travel, especially to Hawaii and Myrtle Beach. He was an avid golfer and also enjoyed fishing. Dieter is survived by his daughter, Angie Hall, her husband Steve, and their children Adrienne, Nikki, Shannon, and Stevie; his daughter, Debbie Wiggins, and her children Natalie, Eric, and Zachary; siblings, twin brother Hans Scholz, Ursula "Uschi" Bamberger, Evi Henrich, and Berndt Scholz; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in passing by his brother, Eberhardt Scholz, sister, Marianne Keul; and brother, Lutz Scholz. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation and thanks for the excellent care provided over the years by Dr. Napoleon Maminta and Dr. David Rardon.
