Will always have the fondest memories of our Uncle George. We have beautiful photos in our baby albums taken by him. Leila and I were remembering every Easter he would come over with the Bauer Boys and take our pics with our Easter baskets. Many a melted bunny on our white gloves. Remember his beautiful singing voice and the plays at St. Catherines. All the family parties and the famous New Year's Eve parties hosted by Grandpa and Grandma Bauer. I also remember him helping Grandpa with his big vegetable garden. We are luck to have all these great memories. Love and condolence to all the Bauer family. Lovingly, your cousins, The Healeys.
