Tom married Melissa Bylund on June 29, 1991 and they made their home in Isanti. Tom worked for Blaine Brothers in Blaine and King Shipping in Rogers for many years. He was a very hard working man who took pride in his work and loved his co-workers. Family meant the world to Tom and he would do anything for them.

So sad to hear my friend has passed. He will be missed by many, he was a great friend, and a great neighbor. The world is poorer from his loss. Love ya, ya big lug.
Tommy was a name that was said throughout any Blaine Brothers company and everyone knew exactly who you were talking about. Even the ones that never got the pleasure of meeting you, they knew of you. You were un mistakable, loyal, humble and would go out of your way anytime to spread your knowledge to anyone in need. This is truly a tragedy. Heaven gained a warrior and left us all a very large hole. You can never be replaced Tommy. I hope you watch over your loving family and all of us here at BBM. Until we meet again, fly high brother. Oh, one more thing. Don’t be afraid to point the boys in the right direction once in a while ok?!

Our hearts are broken by this great loss. Tommy will be profoundly missed by us all. Many prayers to the whole Bauer clan. Thank you for sharing him with us for all these years.
Tommy you were a great co-worker you would help out any one that needed it and hardly ever complained when you worked for me you when overboard to get things done. I’m sure every one will miss you weather they will admit it or not . Melissa and family you should be proud of hi he was a great man.
I wish you the best.
