‘Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, his friends across the Canadian Football League and those he helped through the Never Alone Foundation,’ Bombers president and CEO says

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the team Bauer played for and later served as CEO, announced Bauer’s death on its Instagram page Wednesday.

After retiring as a player, Bauer became Winnipeg’s assistant GM in 1992, a position he held for three seasons.
