In 1971, Roy started his own plumbing and heating company-Bauer Plumbing & Heating, Inc.-which is now owned by his two sons. He enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, traveling with family, and sharing his garden of plenty. Roy was a man of few words, with a wonderful personality, who always enjoyed being around others. He was a hardworking, reliable, and trustworthy man who loved his family deeply. Blessed to have shared his life is his wife of 58 years, Vivian, Bismarck; his two sons, Ryan (Jamye) Bauer, and Kendall Bauer, both of Bismarck; his grandchildren, Kristie, Sarah (Daniel) Anderson, Cole, Seth, Dylan and Brady; his great-grandchildren, Rylan, Nolan and Raegan Anderson; his brothers, Kurt and Walton; and his sisters-in-law, Betty Bauer, Virginia (Gene) Veil, and Evangeline Treiber. Roy’s faith, love, and generosity will be his legacy on earth. Meanwhile he will be in heaven reunited with his parents; his sisters, Lillian Bauer, Walinda Skelly; and his brothers, Aaron and Martin.
