BAUER, Joseph - Passed away on Thursday, December 11, 2014 at 8 p.m. in his home with family at his side. He is survived by his wife Hermie of 61 years; his children, Doris, Karin (Bob Jean) and Jeff (Karen Simpson) and his grandchildren, Josh, Kiera, Connor, Riley and Shavaughn. As well, he is survived by his brothers Herman and Adi (Erna) and his sister-in-law Trude. Many nieces and nephews will also miss him, both here and in Austria.
