Aden grew up on the 4th Line in Wellington County, moved to William St. in Elmira and attended Riverside School where he made lifelong friends. As a young adult he attended Variety Village Vocational School in Toronto to learn watch repair. He spent his life working in this profession; he was the proud and industrious owner of Bauman Jewelers, Elmira from 1956 to 2000. Even after retiring, Aden never stopped watch and jewelry repair until his recent hospitalization and will be missed by many for his excellent workmanship. Aden was a faithful member of Elmira Mennonite Church and he appreciated the help of ushers and friends. A physical disability did not keep Aden from a life of work and friendships which was documented by his friend Del Gingrich in Watchman: Abilities and Disabilities. Monthly breakfast with friends, Del Gingrich, Ray Brubacher, Glen Brubacher, Frank Martin, Zenas Buehler, the late Ab Martin and the late Carl Bushert was a highlight. Special times were also made with friends, George and Helen Grainger, Ron and Joan Wagner and Ernie and Elaine Robertson, for monthly Solo playing. Also, Aden and Joanne annually celebrated the same wedding anniversary day with Harvey and Arlene Kehl and George and Almeda Frey.
A small (by invitation only) memorial is planned with the hope of a public Celebration of Life when possible. Donations in memory of Aden Bauman can be made to: Elmira Mennonite Church, Hospice Wellington or Elmira District Community Living.
