My mind has been flooded over the last week with some of the best and most hilarious memories I've ever had and was lucky enough to share with my good friend John "Griz" Bauer.  His sense of humor was infectious and he had that innate ability to see something funny in most of life's activities.  

John indulged in life as much as anyone I know.  He traveled extensively, rode motorcycles, sailed on the Chesapeake, and flew airplanes.  He was into woodworking, backpacking, rock climbing, British sports cars, toy trains, knitting, poker and playing the guitar, among many other hobbies.  John knew something about almost any topic, was an excellent engineer, and had a genuine appreciation for a wide variety of the arts.  

He and Joanne were true loving partners in every sense of the word.  His love for his sons and grandson were obvious in addition to the furry four-legged ones over the years.  

John, I was fortunate to call you my friend and you will be missed. 

John was a highly valued technical colleague, fearsome competitor on the racquetball court, and MOST importantly ... always a friend.
I admired his gentle nature, dry wit/humor and pleasant personality.
Thank and praise God for John Bauer.

Joanne - So sorry to hear the sad news but know that John is an angel looking over and taking care of you from above! There are so many fond memories of the past 3 decades shared with you and John including the Bendix many celebrations,  happy hours, dinners, annual New Year's Eve party, Australia trip, and much more! Much love, hugs, and prayers to you and the family!


Joann- Miss U a lot ur sweet smile - U & John were the best - thoughts of booze cruises - vacations in the outer banks. Without John I would have never passed quantitative methods - I will never forget his easy kind attitude with me. So very sorry for the loss of the love of ur life. He is out of pain & at peace. I’m in NC now wish I could swing a trip up there to honor John. Unfortunately I can’t. Maybe we can get together sometime. LOVE U
