Fred G. Bauer, 90 years young peacefully passed away at home with family around, to be with his wife, Margie F. Bauer of 62 years of marriage on December 24th.  Fred began work at Sandia National Laboratories when he was 17. At 20 he enlisted in the United States Air Force. His service began at the end of the Korean War and continued for four years. Upon leaving the military he returned to Sandia and continued his work until retiring in 1985 after 33 years of outstanding service. Fred was a member of the First Church of Christ Scientist. Fred’s love for God, family, country, Christian Science, and serving in the church was exemplified through loyalty, unselfish service, love, humility, courage, and compassion. Fred also gave back while serving as block captain of the neighborhood, keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood, and making sure all was well.
