Cmdr. Paul Bauer's widow: Thank you Chicago
Paul Bauer
I sit here writing a letter that I never thought Iâd have to write. On Feb. 13  my husband and Graceâs dad   Paul Bauer   was violently taken from us. Needless to say  our hearts are broken in a million pieces  and our lives are forever changed. But thatâs not the reason I am writing.
 Paul  would have been terribly upset that  he  inconvenienced so many people with the parking restrictions in our beloved Bridgeport.  He  would have winced at the thought that the Dan Ryan closed down for the funeral procession.  He  never wanted to be in the spotlight.  He  never thought of  himself   only others.
I want to thank those of you who waited for hours in the cold to attend  his  wake and funeral. You have no idea how much that meant to us.
I knew  Paul Bauer   and  he  was as wonderful as people are saying Â»
