ED AUER REMEMBERED

We have been saddened by the passing of Deacon Ed Auer at the age of 89. His health had deteriorated in the past year and he finally succumbed to the effects of his age and failing body. He now rests in peace but is fondly remembered by the many, many people who were touched by his life. He was a role model to a large number of people who were fortunate enough to have him teach them and coach them. He demonstrated how one could live a good and holy life and be a vibrant, positive example to children and young adults. Yet he knew how to enjoy and celebrate the day-to-day simple and dignified existence of a devoted son, teacher, coach, cleric, mentor and friend.

Serving God and teaching children were his life's work and he did them extraordinarily well. He was able to add discipline and humor to his teaching methods and to structure learning in terms that were understandable and pertinent to Christian ideals. He performed his duties as a deacon of the Catholic Church by assisting in the Mass and Sacraments, and helping the priests minister to the faithful at Our Lady of Sorrows. His widest impact was on those who came under his tutelage at St. Francis de Sales and then St. John the Baptist High Schools. Mr. Auer's value in forming the young minds of those children is not measurable. This fund was begun as a tribute to the man who provided so much to so many of us. It is only fitting that his legacy would be helping children attain a quality, value-centered education. The Ed Auer Endowment Fund has helped many students with the financial assistance needed for them to remain in Catholic schools. Mr. Auer's memory will live on in continuing this objective for many more students in the future.
