To the whole Bader Family, So sorry to see this. Mr. Bader has been a part of my life since cars didn’t have idiot lights! Mick taught me that term when he checked the oil in my Ford Escort. What a Papa to Adam & Allison……and then the list goes on! Always a Gentleman, Dawn’s Dad, Papa, and friend to my family. Love knowing he is praying for us before we would pray for him. Godspeed Mr. Bader!
