Gerald Bauer Obituary
Gerald "Jerry" Bauer passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia on Monday, November 9 surrounded by his wife and children. Born in Spokane and a resident of Washington for most of his life, he graduated from North Central High School, Spokane in 1953 where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He worked various positions in Nebraska, California, and Washington, including Boeing, Kodak and several law firms in the Seattle area as well as for the City of Issaquah, Washington.
His greatest enjoyment came from coaching sports for boys and girls. He coached baseball, softball, basketball and soccer in Magnolia, Issaquah, Bellevue Washington and in Santa Maria for more than 30 years. He was also heavily involved in umpiring for many years as well and loved nothing more than to be on the field.
He is survived by his wife Barbara of 46 years, son Martin and daughter April, and 4 grandchildren Jordan, Luke, Oliver, and Wyatt in the Seattle area, as well as his father and sister in Spokane and brother in Wisconsin.

My deepest sympathy is extended to your family. We are praying for all of you and we cared about him very much. Jerry had attended our church and the home bible studies and he was such a character! His eyes just sparkled as he greeted everyone on Sundays - he loved offering to "sell" the free bulletins to everyone for 25 cents!!! He will be deeply missed by our congregation.
