Read MoreFr. Baumgaertner was a powerful and far-sighted leader. The philosophy he taught me is still a pillar of wisdom in my life at 81 years of age.

A wonderful Man of God. I sure wish I could have just one more conversation with him. Though I had him as a professor for two years, the help he gave me many years later is my fondest memory of him.

I thought about Father B. many times this last year: as a very solid philosopher, a man very generous with his time, a family friend, and the key person coaching me on getting published my only published paper on the Gospel of Matthew (2010). He was a great contributor to life on many levels: we could surely could use a lot more men like him today!

A truly great man: intellectual, dedicated to the Church, a kind and giving a Christian as I have ever met. A true friend and counselor to me over many years. Thank you, Father.
