The AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Michael Bauer on Thursday, Aug. 29. Michael was a friend, donor, supporter, Board member and champion for AFC. We remember Michael for so many things, but most importantly, for his passion for AFC and so many other progressive organizations and causes. Michael served as a Board member from 2000-2005 and continued as an emeriti and honorary Board member. Our hearts go out to his husband, Roger Simon, and his 103 year-old mother, a Holocaust survivor.
Learn more about Michael's life in this Windy City Times reflection.
