  Sympathies to the Bauer family. I am good friends with Ken's son, Mike and only have vague memories of meeting him 20 plus years ago but recall a very warm person that cared very much for his son and family. Rest in peace Ken.

  My sympathy to Mike and family. Ken and I were best of cousins and our Fathers were the best of brothers. Ken would always talk about how blessed we were to have the values instilled in us by our wonderful parents. Love to all Cousin Jimmy Bauer

  Here in Charlotte, NC, we didn't know Ken for as long as his friends from Brentwood did, but we also had some memorable times, especially on our couples trips to Kiawah Island. He was a very good man. He once gifted me with a photo of my sister's house in Brentwood. He loved all of you guys from his home town, I know you will keep his memory alive. Pat & John Katko

  Kenny Bauer is a household name in our family. Three generations of Saia and McCarthy family members know the great smile, laughter, stories and visits which he brought to every encounter through the decades. Kenny was a lifetime friend, In turn, so many of his friends followed along, staying in touch, wherever he went. We will all miss the opportunities to share times with Mr. Bauer in this life. Hopefully he is kidding with those we've lost already in Heaven.

  My sweet Kenny, I'm so sad that you are gone. You were a true light in my life since grade school at St Sylvester's. We were part of the Edge Rd gang. I'm happy that you are with the angels now. God bless you and peace to your son and family. Love forever, Sharon Scullen

  So many great memories of Ken and the gang. East/west football games in the stadium. Then neighbors on Hilbert when Michael was a baby. He was always one of the good guys. RIP Kenny - till we meet again.

  Unfortunately, I didn't know Kenny well in our youth. But, at our high school reunions, Kenny would greet me with a big smile and some heart-warming words. We lost a kind soul. Joe Zmuda

  I met Kenny at the Comet Grill in Charlotte, during my too often regular visits, It was always my pleasure to sit and discuss sports or teaching with him. We all knew it would be a good time when he was there. He was loved for his knowledge of sports, stories of his teaching days and friendship to everyone. Don and Anne James

  We go back a few years Kenny...we kinda grew up together actually ...age 16.   You came into my life with your  "crew" of friends, who enjoyed your easy going demeanor, your laughter and kindness and your softball skills! Then you became a wonderful Dad for our Michael and then a wonderful teacher for so many other sons and daughters. Grateful for knowing you and sharing so many happy times together. Maybe you and God can come up with a few pointers for your beloved Pittsburgh Pirates...where are those beautiful Forbes Field chairs ? Connie

  A true Spartan, Kenny always had a smile and some great stories. He loved the Pirates and the Steelers and always kept us informed on social media. Will miss him. And sending blessings to the family.

  We at Icard Elementary loved Mr. Bauer as one of our 4th grade teachers. My son also was in his class. He was just one of those people who make you smile when you hear his name. Rest in peace Mr. Bauer. You'll be missed. Tonya Smith

  My condolences to Ken's son and his sisters and their families. He was loved by his students at Icard Elementary. We took a road trip to Youngstown and Pittsburgh one year because he was so proud of his college and loved his hometown and all of his friends we met along the way loved Ken too. When he moved his Mom to Spring Arbor Memory Care we'd visit her on Sundays. She would light up when she saw Ken. He was a good son and great friend.
