Charles Richard "Rich" Sauer

Dear Chris, Jamie and Meryl, Please accept my sincerest sympathy in the loss of your husband/father. I have many memories of Rich as our pastor at St. Andrew's, but mostly of Rich as a friend. Both of us had lost our brothers and he was so understanding of my grief at that time.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers as you begin to heal.
God bless you all, Sue

I am so sorry to hear about Rich's death. It is especially a shock since I didn't even know he was sick. We were junior high school sweethearts in Haddonfield. We lost touch and made contact again 4 years ago and I'm so glad we did. What a sweet and kind man and what a loss to the community and his family and friends!

Chris & Girl,

My deepest sympathy to you all. I attended Tabor Lutheran Church when Rich was a student pastor there. I also just lost my Mother on March 30, 2006 after emergency surgery. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My faith gets me through alot of my days and I always remember that she is with Jesus and she is in a better place and out of pain. Hope your faith and family gets you through this rough road.
Love, Sue McAninch nee (Jabs)

Dear Sauer Family~
Rich was one of the most caring, dedicated, generous men I've had the privelige of knowing. I met Rich as soon as I returned to work after having my second son. We had a pleasant but very brief conversation. That same week my baby was diagnosed with a rare liver disease and I was out of work again for another three weeks. When I returned there was a card on my desk from Rich. The "new guy" I'd only briefly spoken to understood my pain and our struggles. He was a...

Dear Sauer Family, My sympathy to you all. Pastor Rich married my Father and StepMother at St. Andrews in 1985 (Fred and Emily Kline). I know that they really thought a lot of him and your family. He will be missed greatly by all. You are in my prayers. Wendy K. Hoffman

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. My mother took me to church, but it was Pastor Rich who kept me there. He was so down-to-earth and showed how easy it was to have a relationship with God without pretense and formality. His encouragement and support during his years at St. Andrews made being a teenager much easier. I have thought of him often, and each time I do I am thankful for each memory I have.

Dear Meryl,

We were all so sorry to hear of your father's death. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With love,

Janet, Bob, and Mary Beth Marler

My prayers are with the Sauer family at this time. I was very fortunate to have Rich come into my life for the time he worked at ARC. He was always so gracious and warm and he will be deeply missed. We have another angel in heaven

May Rich's life be a blessing to you his family and may his work inspire you to a calling which will honor his memory.
