Our dear friend and fellow Boomer, Carl Lauer, passed away on April 7, 2020 at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, at the age of 76, after a valiant 2+ year struggle with cancer. Carl was born in Lincoln, IL. He is survived by his brother, Dean (Sharon) Lauer of Phoenix, AZ and two nephews, Daniel (Natasha) Lauer of Chicago, IL, and Ryan Lauer of Gilbert, AZ. He graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1965 with a B.A. in English and later earned his M.A. in English from Illinois State University. Carl taught for many years in the English Department of Bloomington High School in Bloomington, IL and later enjoyed many years as the Director of Christian Education at Second Presbyterian Church in Bloomington. He was an accomplished musician in both piano and organ. Carl was an active member of Valley Presbyterian Church where he volunteered for Encore University and taught Sunday classes for the Boomers Community Group. Carl was a gentle man with a big heart. He was always smiling during Boomers classes even when he was sick. Carl was happy and grateful to be alive. He lived in the moment and made the best of each one. His positive attitude was a good example for all of us. Carl lived out his faith and there is no doubt that he is with his Savior now. We will miss him. Carl's body will be interred in New Union Cemetery in Lincoln, IL with memorial services in Scottsdale and Lincoln, at later dates. Memorials may be contributed to Valley Presbyterian Church, 6947 E McDonald Dr, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253. Sympathy cards may be sent to Carl's brother, Dean Lauer, at Carl's last address, Westminster Village, 12000 N 90th St, #1040, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.

Many thanks to Jerry and Sarah Burnette for hosting our fifth annual VPC Boomers Community Group Christmas Open House! Highlights of the gala event were the bountiful buffet, lively Christmas carol sing-a-long with Sarah on the keyboard, and toasting Andy Netupsky on his 70th birthday.

Boomers have a real appetite for Bible study. Last Sunday 44 people attended a class after church about the Parables of Jesus. We watched a video, listened to a brief lecture and participated in small group discussions, all in 1 hour. (We also ate delicious Sunday morning treats before class began. 😋)
