Age 91 of Cole Harbour, passed away with his children by his side in Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Hospital on August 22, 2016.
Born in St. Catharines Ontario, he was a son of the late Irene (Eckhardt) and George Bauer.
Bill joined the army near the end of WWII as a young man. After the war ended, he briefly returned to civilian life, then joined the Royal Canadian Navy at 23 years of age. He served with distinction for 25 years as a Marine Engineer, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer Second Class. Following his military service, he became a member of the Atlantic Chief & Petty Officers Association. He worked as a stationary engineer at Sears Canada in Halifax for 15 years, retiring in 1988.
Bill was an avid fly fisherman and spent many happy days with friends at his camp in Chezzetcook. He shared his love of watching golf with his wife, Janet, and his beloved dog Tuffy by his side. He was remembered for his love of music, and had a radio playing in every room. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren.
He will be missed by sons George (Margaret), Dartmouth; Robert (Wendy), Timberlea; daughters Sharon (John) Backstrom, Hammonds Plains; Donna Bauer, Bedford; and grandchildren Carolyn (Dave), Mark, Nicolle, Sarah, and Kristen.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 61 years Janet (Babin) Bauer; sister, Doris Schappert; and brother, George.
A private family interment will take place on Monday, August 29, 2016, in Dartmouth Memorial Gardens.
Donations may be sent to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or QEII Health Science Centre Foundation (Camp Hill Veterans Memorial).
The family would like to extend special thanks to nurses Darrin and Susan and all the staff of Three West Ward in Camp Hill Vet Memorial, and Dr. Matthew Watson in Dartmouth.
