Robert Bauer Obituary 2024 – Slone and Co. Funeral Directors

Bob was born and raised in Cleveland, OH, to Eleanor and Rock Bauer Sr. (deceased). He is survived by his loving wife, Ann Bauer, and his four children: Joe Bauer, Sharon Cameron (Chase), Julie Spahr (Nate), and Brandy Bauer. Bob was a loving grandfather to Kailey and Payton Cameron, with one grandchild on the way, Jackie. He was a great-grandfather to Ellie and Chase Cameron. He is also survived by his siblings: Wayne Sr. (Fern), John Sr., Larry Sr. (Cindy), DeeDee Hensley (Tom), Darla Rutowski (Lester), Rock Bauer (Debbi), and Janet Bauer. He was a brother-in-law to Joe Butvin (Cona) and Mike Butvin (Paris). Bob was an honorary family member to Kim Johnson, whom his kids affectionately called Auntie Kim. He was an uncle, great-uncle, and great-great-uncle to many. He is also survived by his adored cats, Scout and Angelo.

Bob was a devoted husband and father who did everything to provide for his family. Though raised in Cleveland, he also lived in Indianapolis, IN, and later settled in Delaware, OH. Bob was an avid Elvis fan and a huge fan of the movie Forrest Gump. He was a veteran of the Army, having served during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Germany. He was always proud of his military service. Bob was known for his love of nature, his protective nature, and his humor.

Through his faith and inherent nature, he was always quick to offer advice and assistance, whether it be a shoulder to lean on or help with fixing a car.

Bob will be deeply missed by anyone fortunate enough to know him.

1 dead, 1 injured after crash involving work truck on I-71

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – One woman is dead after a crash on I-71 South in Middleburg Heights late Thursday night.

EN ESPAÑOL: Un muerto y un herido tras choque con un camión de trabajo de servicio en la I-71

According to a release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 11:27 p.m. on I-71 South near Bagley Road.

Troopers said that a black 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV driving southbound on Interstate 71 struck a 2017 International MA025 work vehicle that was blocking traffic for crews working in the road.

The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was taken to Southwest General Hospital, where she later died.

Trooper identified her as Christina M. Rivera, 31, of Cleveland.

The driver of the work truck was also taken to Southwest General Hospital for minor injuries.

The truck belonged to Oglesby Construction. 19 News reached out to them and were told safety is a big priority for them.

A preliminary investigation showed that the work truck, with flashing yellow warning lights, was blocking the far-right lane on I-71 to protect a paint crew working in the road.

According to the release, the roadway leading up to the crash was flat and straight.

There were no injuries reported to any other road workers.

Traffic on I-71 was closed for about two hours while the crash was investigated.

The crash remains under investigation.

“The Patrol would like to remind motorists when approaching any vehicle with flashing or rotating lights to move over or slow down and proceed with caution,” the release said.

ODOT has also been putting out warnings all summer as their crews work around the clock.

So far this year their crews have been involved in 58 crashes. That includes people, equipment, and vehicles.

This is a developing story. Return to 19 News for updates.

New Ohio City Farm Store Now Open

Press Room

The new Ohio City Farm Store – officially the Glick Farm Store – opens today. The retail store is the latest, greatest addition to the five-acre urban farm, which was launched in 2010.

“The farm’s goal, in supporting the mission of Re:Source Cleveland, is to create as many fair wage employment opportunities for international newcomers (immigrants such as refugees, asylees, and those with temporary protected status) as possible,” says Rachel Ramos, Marketing & Communications Manager for Re:Source.

Often lauded as one of the largest and most productive urban farms in the nation, Ohio City Farm had modest beginnings. Shoppers could visit a weekly farm stand that was housed in a retrofitted shipping container. A CSA program was introduced eight years ago, which boosted sales, visibility and opportunities for the workers. That program has grown to include summer and fall memberships of various sizes and commitments.

Thanks to this new non-profit social enterprise model, the farm has been able to construct high tunnels on the property, which significantly extend the growing season. Still, the lack of any conditioned space remained a major hinderance.

Last year, the farm celebrated the opening of the Roundstone Pavilion (2304 Bridge Ave.), an addition that offers year-round indoor work space with a commercial kitchen and retail shop.

“We’ve been able to extend employment into the winter for those on our team who wanted it, and hired three new team members this year to support those added kitchen and retail operations year-round,” adds Ramos.

The Ohio City Farm Store piggybacks off the successful CSA system, offering a similar selection of fresh, seasonal produce that CSA members get. Also on offer are local pantry staples, bulk ingredients, prepared foods from the kitchen, cookbooks featuring global cuisine or local harvests, and kitchen and garden tools.

“We have been dreaming about having a brick and mortar for a long time,” says Ramos.

Going forward the farm store will be open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
