B. Kent Bauman
September 21, 1937 — August 13, 2005
B. Kent Bauman, age 67, was called to the comfort of the Lord’s arms on Saturday, August 13, 2005, surrounded by his loving family. He lost a long and courageous 7 year battle with cancer.
Kent was born in Marquette, WI, Green Lake County on September 21, 1937. He spent his childhood on his parent’s farm on county Highway B, just outside of Marquette. He graduated from Markesan High School in 1955, and went to work for Fall River Canning Co. in Markesan and then at Waupun Ready Mix. After these two places of employment he decided to obtain further education. He attended Madison Business College, graduating from there with a degree in accounting, in August of 1961. On June 10, 1961 he married his high school sweetheart, Eileen Wuerch. They resided on Eileen’s family farm, in rural Markesan until after Kent graduated from college. After graduation, Kent went to work at National Rivet, in Waupun, doing payroll for them and the Shaler Co. After answering an ad, Kent was hired at Condon Oil Co. and began employment there on December 3, 1961. He purchased the company from Donald B. Condon. At the time of Kent's death he was the owner and CEO of that company and its subsidiary’s. During his years with Condon Oil, Kent has held many outside positions: President Ripon JC’s; Officer at Messiah Lutheran Church; President of Petroleum Marketers Association of Wisconsin, 1990; Member of the City of Ripon Planning Commission; PMAW Leaf Committee-2003-04; Board of Directors, Horicon Bank. Kent enjoyed hunting of all kinds, especially hunting ducks and pheasants with his family and his Chesapeake Bay Retriever, “Boomer”. Deer hunting was also a favorite and he enjoyed planting food plots for the wildlife on the family hunting acreage.
Kent leaves to mourn his passing, his wife of 44 years, Eileen: four children, Karla (David) Block, Kraig (Nicole), Kurt (special friend Kimberly Soda), and Karen (fiancé Derek Stone). Eight grandchildren: Kayla, Heather, and Jared Block, Caitlin and Marshall Bauman, Brady, Bryce and McKenzie Bauman. One sister, Bonnie Marousek, two brothers, Barry (Ann) Bauman and Kalton (Sherry) Bauman, one sister-in-law, Joanne Rudolph, eight nieces and two nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Wanda Bauman and one brother-in-law, Howard Marousek.
