	July 21, 2005 "Thank you so much for singing at Hilda Brugger's funeral, my mother. Your singing is truly a gift. It was so touching and your voice was very expressive. It was so comforting for me. It made a sad occasion beautiful as life does end for all of us. I cannot say enough except it was like an angel lifting her spirit in her final journey. She died peacefully. I wish I could express myself better. Your music was so beautiful and you had so much patience with me picking the songs for the funeral home. Sincerely, MaryAnn Arechiga Bethlehem, Pa. March of 2007... Dear Mr. Bauer, Our family wishes to extend our gratitude to you for singing so beautifully at our precious daughter's(Lynn M.)funeral. God has given you a wonderful gift. Sincerely, Dan, Mary & Scott July of 2007.... George enjoyed your music through the years, from Musikfest to churches. Thank you, Connie Burke I recently attended Mrs. Hinkle's funeral and when I heard you sing again (I had heard you many times in the past, including my father's funeral nearly 25 years ago) I was so moved that I searched on the web hoping to find information on albums or venues you may be singing at. I was thrilled to find your WEB Site and to find I could order a Christmas Album not only for myself but for my niece who heard you for the first time at the funeral. She was stunned by the beauty of your voice. She and Janine Hinkle have been best friends since 4th grade at Fountain Hill Elementary. My question is whether you will do an album with Ave Maria at some point. That has been one of the most important songs in our family's recent history and I can't imagine a more beautiful rendition than one that you would do. I have avoided using the word perform because that sends overtones of something less than real --- that is not what I sense you do --- rather you give a true gift to people --- the gift of beauty and song. Thank you. Joan Susski December 31, 2007 It was an honor to share the special music selected for Mr. Ed Bennick's funeral service held at Cantelmi's Funeral Home at 11 a.m. on Monday, New Year's Eve. Together with our good friend, Rev. Alan Hermansader who offered his personal reflection on the life of Eddie, my accompanist and I extend our sincere sympathies to Ellie and her entire family. It was nice visiting with them to offer them assistance in selecting their special music which included: "Here I Am Lord", "To Where You Are", "Wind Beneath My Wings", and their favorite, "Goodbye." May the memories of that day continue to reflect the love and joy which Eddie shared with others. March 29, 2008 John, thank you for singing at my Dad's funeral. Your music is your ministry. Mary Ianetta & Family Nov 22, 2008 St Patrick Seniors in Pottsville are very appreciative of the music you provided for our Christmas party!! I met one of our members yesterday. Her husband was buried two weeks ago. She had bought one of your CD's and finds comfort in it each day!! Thank you!! Joan Repella March 7, 2009 John, looking at your website and reading the remarks made me think about my wife’s funeral last week. Just want to say "Thank You" again for making everyone feel sooooooooo good. You did a great job, and I really appreciate your coming to Chalfont and singing for my wife. Bill Stubits July 18, 2009 Dear John, we wish to thank you for your lovely and tender rendition of "Amazing Grace." It was Lea's favorite hymn and he would have been very pleased. He enjoyed your singing on many occasions and admired your beautiful gift. It gave us great comfort to hear you sing and helped make a difficult time bearable. P.S. Lea would have gotten a chuckle out of your Yankee comment! The Arnold Family Sept. 22, 2009 John, thank you. A most enjoyable presentation enjoyed by all. You made a lot of people happy. Tony Ortwein from the 55 and Over group of St. Ann's RC Church in Bethlehem. Sept. 23, 2009 Dear John, thank you so much for the wonderful music you gave us today. Your talent was certainly appreciated by our ladies. The Friendship Club of the former Bethlehem Steel Company March 19, 2010 Dear John, forgive me for not responding sooner. There have been so many emotions to deal with since Mother's passing, and my brother, sister, and I are taking it one step at a time. We want to tell you that we were so very touched by your presence at her funeral--it meant so much to us. Your voice is certainly a gift from God, and I imagine this is surely how his Angels must sound. We are grateful that you were able to be at her service and share this gift with us at a time of such grief and upheaval in our lives. It imparted such a sense of peace and comfort, and I can still hear you singing the Song of Farewell---I will remember it all of my days. Know that since Mother's funeral, we have received many, many very positive comments from friends, family, choir members, and our Monsignor, who admire and appreciate your talent. They also have been touched by your gift. I wanted to let you know that I will give your contacts to those who ask. Again, thank you so much for being able to be with us on March 19. You added a special touch to our dear Mother's farewell, and we will always remember you and are grateful. Sincerely, Rosemary Geosits Dear John, I'm writing this short note to thank you for the beautiful singing you did for my mother's funeral on March 19th at St. Peter's in Coplay. I've heard several people comment on the excellent job you do, and I've heard you on a tape that Mom gave me from years ago, from a St. Peter's concert. It was wonderful to hear the real thing and now I'd love to meet you in person as my sister Rosemary has certainly spoken very highly of you. Thank you again, and I thank and praise God for your talents being used for His honor and glory! Sincerely, Teresa Heller & Jim as well! johnbauer.com 484-767-3898 610-691-6762 Email: click HERE \| Return Home \| Testimonials \| John's CDs \| Links \| Events Calendar \| Bio \| Off Broadway \|
