April 11, 1950 �" September 14, 2013
Phillip Bauer, 63, died peacefully in his sleep on September 24, 2013 while on vacation in Rome, Italy. His good friend, Bruce Occena, recalls how happy Phillip was in fulfilling his goal to visit Rome.
He enjoyed being a resident of San Francisco for over 30 years. He worked for the UCSF AIDS Health Project (now known as Alliance Health Project), as well as Baker Places. As a phlebotomist and a counselor he offered dedicated support services. His clients and patients included people living with HIV and those with substance abuse issues.
Phillip is survived by a brother, Larry (Cindy) Bauer; a sister, Marcia (Ron) Kokoczka; a niece, nephew, and great niece. Philip was preceded in death by his father and mother, Joseph and Catherine Bauer, and a sister, Sr. Mary Colleen Bauer SC.
Phillip will be greatly missed by his many dear friends. Cathy Cahur remembers his smile and wit. Marcia notes that Phillip's great sense of humor will live on in all who knew him.
A memorial to celebrate Phillip is scheduled for Saturday, November 16 at 3 p.m. at Most Holy Redeemer Parish, 100 Diamond Street, San Francisco, CA 94114. The gathering will take place in the meeting room below the rectory. All are welcome. For more information, contact Cahur at (415) 553-8776 or [email protected].
