Joseph J. Bauer

I just found out about Joe's untimely death through a former Bell Federal Savings employee who visted me in Colorado. Since we moved out here last October, I had no way of knowing of Joe's untimely passing. My thoughts are with Sue and Tim. Joe was not only a hard-working, bright guy, but he always had a great sense of humor and was always upbeat. That is what the world needs more of...so long Joe!

I worked with Joe at Success National Bank during some hard times. Joe always had a smile that made these times better. I hope that all will remember his smile and smile too!

I heard of his passing from another SNB alum at a job fair in April. While these wishes are late in coming, they are deeply felt. I'll soon raise a Fosters to his memory.

Dear Joe,
Good-bye, so long, farewell.
Remember you well -- thought you were swell.
You are among folks who engrave special memory.

I just learned of Joe's untimely death from Quinn Mucker. Joe was a student of mine when he attended QPS and over the years did have an occassional contact with him. Joe was a fine young man in high school who fulfulled every teacher's hopes - he went on to be a fine man with a measure of success. My prayers are for his repose and my condolances to his famiy. May he rest in the peace of the Lord.

I am an employee of Genworth (f.k.a. Ge) Melinda Fine is my boss and told me of the sad news. I just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bauer family.

I worked with Joe & was always impressed by his qualities of sincerity, professionalism & good humor. Joe has left us too soon. He will be missed, but never forgotten. All who knew him, admired him and learned from him. Joe took pride in all he did, and always spoke with high regard of his wife & son.

Joe was a friend from my Quigley days. His smile and his welcomimg personality made you feel special. He will be missed but his warmth and genuinness will live on in those that he touched. My thoughts and prayers will be with he and his family.

Joe was a good person. He cared about people and had a huge heart. The world needs more Joe Bauers. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I met Joe through the mortgage industry.I work as a loan officer, and Joe would be underwriting alot of my files.I would call Joe for questions etc. Joe was always nice to have on your deals.Besides that he would ALWAYS laugh at my lame jokes. He was probably just being nice,however he had a great sense of humor.Underwriters can be a little plain at times,not Joe he had good outlook on things.God Bless you Joe, and God Bless his family and friends.
