To honor the passing of a wonderful, gentle and kind man.

After a long illness, Bob left, slipping away on March 25, 2022. This much-loved man left to pursue his next great adventure. He will surely be checking in with friends and family that have gone before.

He was born and raised in New York City. Bob received his bachelor's degree in Religion and Philosophy from Wagner University in Staten Island. From 1959 to 1960, he was the electrician for the Fantasticks that opened at the Sullivan Street Playhouse. In December of 1960, Bob left New York for Denver, Colorado. He soon became the technical director for the Bonfils Theater on East Colfax. In 1968, himself and his wife Judy moved to New York where he taught at Wagner College. While there, he received his MFA degree in Theatre Design from the City University of New York.

Bob taught masters classes in set design and lighting at Brooklyn College School of Television Science. Moving back to Denver where he spent years touring with the American Ballet Theater.  In 1974 he opened Theatrix, the first technical theatre supply company in Colorado since 1952. The business closed in 2003.

He is survived by his wife Judith "Judy" Bauer, Son Edward "Ed" Bauer, claimed son William "Cleet" Forrest, sister Evelyn Johnston, along with numerus nephews, nieces, great and great great nephews and nieces.

Say a prayer, raise a glass and wish him Bon Voyage.

If you would like to do something he would appreciate, plant a tree, grow a rosebush, make the world a better place!

His love and our love to you all.
