Passing of Judge William J. Bauer

December 22, 2025 9:06 AM | Walker Mondt (Administrator)

Earlier this month, the Honorable Judge William J. Bauer passed away at age 99. He had a distinguished career in public service as he was previously the DuPage County States Attorney, Circuit Judge of the 18th Circuit, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Federal District Judge, and Judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Our thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

Formal arrangements likely to be held in January.
