Parting Shots from "Growing Up in Sterling, Colo. Sharing a few recent chat room comments…

*I am glad I was in that era and got to experience Bauer’s Market. Thanks for the memories Bauer’s Market.*I remember the Market from way back!!! So sad that they are tearing it down! To me it is a landmark.*So many good memories - thanks for posting.*I remember going into the store as a kid with my parents and even as a kid Kenny and Alec Bauer knew my name. Besides great lunchmeat and candy, one of the best places to learn customer service.*Goodbye Bauer’s! Such good memories! Christmas candy, lunch meat and Christmas trees are my favorites.*This makes me feel so melancholy … Bauer’s was a wonderful part of Sterling.*Mr. Bauer and all his family were all so nice. I loved that place the only place I bought lunchmeat.*My fav is the fireworks stand back in the sixties and Mr. Bauer’s kind smile from behind the counter.*Very fond memories of stopping there when we would go to “Town.”*I remember going there on Halloween and Mr. Bauer letting all the little kids go pick out a candy of their choice.*Was a great place.*Good lunchmeat and cheese - sad to see it go.*How sad - best lunchmeat ever.*It was a great place to go on a hot day. Enjoyed the refrigerated room where the sodas were kept.*Peach Nehi!

A heartfelt thank you to the uncountable customers and friends of Bauer’s Market. As the news of the destruction of the Bauer’s building came to us, it has saddened our hearts as we see the finality of a great and wonderful time in our lives come to an end. We thank our Lord for allowing us to be such a pleasant memory of so many of our faithful and loyal customers and friends during the 53 years the Bauer Clan proudly served you. We also thank Mike and Denise Gardner for 10 years (2001-2011) of continuing on the Bauer’s Market tradition that Alec and Mary Bauer started in August 1948 with the open front fruit, vegetable and grocery store at the same location the curret building is located. While raising a family of seven children, 6 daughters and 1 son (Pam and Gary Serrato, Jacky and Rick Myers, Kelly and Larry Lynch, Sherry and Todd Carey, Mary and Justin Stone, Mark Bauer and Michele and Derry White) we continued working with my father and mother for the next 43 years with the help of our seven children and the many grandchildren that appeared on the scene. We praise God for them. We also wish to remember the Hermie and Babe Schott family, their 3 daughters -Robbie, Toni and Vicky - for their help as devoted employees of Bauer’s during their time with us. Hermi and Babe are now deceased. A special thanks to long time friend Barb McKay for the wonderful farewell surprise party at the Market on July 4, 2001. Again our heartfelt gratitude to you our customers and friends as we will cherish our fond memories of Bauer’s Market and you!
