Allen Dean Baumstarck, 65, was called home on November 23, 2022 surrounded by his family and compassionate healthcare providers at the VA hospital in Fargo, ND.
Al was born in Bismarck, ND on October 31, 1957 to Rose and John Baumstarck. Al graduated from Mandan High School, then served in the US Navy on the USS Lexington.
Al was an entrepreneur at heart, and his businesses included carpet cleaning and sewing machine sales and repair. Al’s deep faith was evident through his participation in the church and his willingness to serve, including in the church choir, the adoration, and the Knights of Columbus. Al was committed to helping family and friends, and he always showed up for those in need.
His hobbies included karaoke, biking, running, and card playing (especially pinochle). He loved riding his motorcycle. Al’s creativity shone in his passion for quilting.
Al is survived by ten siblings: Leona (Rick Glatt), Ponca City, OK; John (Jean), Vancouver, WA; Adam (Joan), Nashville, TN; Leo, Redmond, WA; Shirley (Mark Voss), Bismarck, ND; Linda (Jamie Carmichael), Ottertail, MN; Julie Rhoades, Loveland, CO; Rose (Greg Baranyk), Gainesville, FL; Hilary (Peggy), Bellingham, WA; Mary, Bismarck, ND; 24 nieces and nephews, and 23 great nieces and nephews.
Al was preceded in death by his parents John and Rose, brother Richard, and brother-in-law Dennis Hempler.
The family of Al Baumstarck expresses great gratitude to the VA Hospital in Fargo, ND for the care and love of Al while he battled brain cancer. Their compassion, respect, and professionalism were extremely evident, and we will be forever grateful.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Al was always such a bright light when he’d come into Ginnas and always willing to help with any sewing machine repairs I needed on my old machine. He will be greatly missed.
Al was a wonderful person and we all loved him. He was so much fun

Al was a hard working dedicated employee that was always reliable. Enjoyed the many years we worked together and the times he spent helping us on the farm. A great guy with a huge heart! Now he’s singing with the heavenly choir.
Rest In Peace my friend.
With our deepest sympathies,
John & Debbie
Al was the BEST sewing machine repair person! I could call him about a problem, tell him I was coming to town from 90 miles away. ask if he could take a look at it and he always knew what was wrong before he even took the machine apart! And I always got my machine back the same day! Wonderful man!
