“John Bayer was a great colleague and mentor. I always admired his professionalism and the compassion he displayed toward his students. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Shaun Reno wrote a sympathy message

“John was a great colleague to work with who was very supportive of his fellow faculty and staff. He helped me early in my career deal with an injustice by the dean. His moral clarity and support was much needed at times. Later I was happy to ask him to teach some interdisciplinary courses that introduced students to critical thinking in college using literature from the Vietnam era. His courses impacted his students lives , preparing them for their future. My deepest sympathy in your loss.”

Juliet Scherer wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathies to the family. John was an incredible teacher, mentor, and colleague to so many. His warmth and kindness was matched by his strength of character and intelligence. Take comfort in knowing that John's legacy at St. Louis Community College - his impact on the students he taught and the colleagues he taught with - endures. We all miss his smile and laughter, but the legendary John Bayer will never be forgotten.”
