Dear Yvonne and everyone, I still can't believe Uli is gone. The physics was great, of course.  But perhaps uniquely I came away feeling really good after every one of the many interactions I had with him. Uli was the best, Bob Brown

I only learned the news recently. I met Uli while I was a graduate student in Madison around 1990. Our paths have crossed many times since including here in Rochester and Buffalo, NY. My heart-felt condolences to his family. We'll all miss him.

Dear Yvonne,
       
I only learned about this tragedy recently.Prof Baur was on my doctoral committee and I considered him both as a mentor and a friend I do not have the words to express deep sense of loss on a personal level. He was anextremely helpful and a cheerful person.
My deepest condolences to you on your loss.

This is such sad and shocking news. I didn't find out until the Physics Today came out. Uli was a great and greatly unique physicist: a theorist with marvelous ideas who could really make them practical. He helped me so much in keeping up with particle physics while my day job kept me elsewhere, and so I learned of his wonderful personality. I'll share more with his family when I get the chance.

Dear Yvonne, Uli was a great physicist, emphasizing the importance of precision calculation to nterpret experimental data. Uli presented his talk via video at the 2010 Topical Program at National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) in Taiwan on Oct. 27 and Nov. 1. The NCTS LHC Physics program has benefited greatly from his participation. We will miss him. -- C.-P. Yuan (Michigan State U.)

It is difficult to believe that Uli is no longer with us. I write this in the language we mostly used for our conversations. He was not only a great colleague to whom I owe very much, but what is so hard to find, a true friend. He always encouraged me and gave me hope and understanding, as he took all things with a smile and good humour. Uli, I miss you...

Dear Yvonne,
Please accept our sincere condolences for the sudden loss
of our friend and colleague Uli. We'll miss him dearly at the Pheno meetings and the LHC-TI discussions--Uli made such a significant contribution to these endeavors.
His friendship will be long remembered.

Dear Yvonne,

Ulrich's untimely passing is a shock and tragedy for many of us who knew him very well. Ulrich was my de facto second thesis advisor back in 1994, when I did an experimental thesis on the work made possible by major theoretical contributions from Ulrich. I've since used his wisdom and his advice many times.

My deepest condolences on your loss - our loss...

Sincerely, Greg Landsberg

Dear Yvonne,
Please accept my deepest condolence and sympathy. I knew Ulrich since 1992 when we collaborated on multiboson physics, a subject to which Ulrich contributed immensely. He was a dear friend and a colleague whose insight into physics was always helpful to many of us. I will miss him personally. Sincerely, Brajesh Choudhary.

Dear Yvonne, missing Uli's friendly smile in the hallways of Fronczak, makes me realize which void Uli left in the department as colleague, friend and teacher. When I asked my PT if he remembered physics, he described excitedly how 15 years ago as freshman he spent time in Dr. Baur's office to learn mechanics. Uli left many great lasting memories with all of us.Please accept my sincere condolences

Dear Yvonne, dear Baur family, please accept my deepest sympathy. It was terrible to hear about Uli's death, and it is still hard to believe. I only knew Uli smiling, and it was always a pleasure to meet him at conferences. He was so warm-hearted, and he always had a nice word. We lost a great person and an excellent physicist.

Dear Yvonne and Baur family, it was a shock to learn about such tragic loss. Please accept my sympathy and support in this extremely hard time. Dr. Baur was my teacher and mentor during the grad student years. He was always there to help, always with a smile. His enthusiasm was truly contagious and will be missed by us. Please remember that as long as he lives in our hearts, he still lives.

Dear Yvonne and the Baur Family, we knew Uli for 28 years since our student days in Munich. Later we met only occasionally, but we kept in contact and exchanged over the years an uncountable number of emails on physics and many other subjects. We were shocked to hear about his death and we will always remember him as a very good friend. Best regards Roswitha and Manfred Lindner

Liebe Yvonne,
mein herzliches Beileid zu diesem unerwarteten und schmerzhaften Verlust. Ulrich war wissenschaftlich und menschlich eine herausragende Persoenlichkeit und ein Vorbild fuer uns alle. In addition to being an excellent scientist, he reminded us always that there is life beyond physics. He will live on in our memories.
Herzliche Gruesse,

Hello Yvonne, Dear Family Baur

I seldom was so schocked, speechless and also sad, when I heard about Ulrichs death. I knew him mostly over the Discover America Forum. Fortunately I was able to meet him 2 times. He was such a friendly, heartily and helpful person."The best memorial, which a person/human (can) gets, is in the hearts of the humans (being)/person. " by Albert Schweizer

Dear Yvonne, We only met once - in Detroit last year - but I knew Uli from many meetings and seminar visits over the years. He was a talented physicist, and I always left our discussions having learned something. But more than anything I will remember him as a joyful and warm person, who always had a kind word for everyone. I will miss him.

Liebe Yvonne, obwohl wir uns erst vor einigen Wochen persönlich kennengelernt haben und ich nie das Glück hatte, Deinen Uli zu treffen, trifft mich Dein unsagbar schwerer Verlust bis ins tiefste Innere. Es tut mir so unendlich leid und ich wünsche Dir alle Kraft der Erde weiterzumachen und die Erinnerung an Uli zu erhalten. Wenn ich irgendwie helfen kann lass es mich wissen. Ich umarme Dich, Simon

Thank you for all your condolences and kind and heart warming words, I really appreciate it a lot.Thanks for all your support. I still can't really find the right words to express what his loss means to me, he left such a big hole in my heart. Honey, I miss you so much and you will always be with me. And every time I see the star lit sky, I know you are there. I love you

Dear Yvonne!
The sad news about Ulrich's dead shook me to the core! Although we never met personally I believe devoutly that he was that kind of fellow human being where one always wish there were much more people like Ulrich on this earth. I will miss him sadly.

13 Jahre ist es nun schon her seit Ulrich viel zu früh von uns gegangen ist. Es ist schade das er nicht miterleben konnte wie seine Nichte aufwächst und sie selbst war noch zu klein um sich an ihn erinnern zu können. Auch ich kannte ihn nur eine kurze Zeit. Aber diese kurze Zeit hat schon ausgereicht um zu erkennen was für ein herzlicher und liebevoller Mensch er war und wie glücklich meine Schwester war ihn gefunden zu haben.

Uli was such a bright light in my life. It was always wonderful to run into
him unexpectedly at Fermilab--- we would talk about all kinds of things. He
was gracious, broad in knowledge, and thoughtful.
Uli also played an important role for me in my work on the W, Z, and top, and in developing signature-based searches. There have been several wonderful theorists who I trust to respond in a deep way to my often poorly-formulated questions. Uli instinctively understood what was troubling me, even though I myself couldn't.
         I miss him. He was very very special. Sincerely, Henry

Stairway to Heaven

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say "Goodbye"
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to love you
No one can ever know
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much more is store
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay

The Deep Blue Sea

 

Come along, come with me,
Take a dive in the deep blue sea.
Put on your gear, let's explore
All the way to the ocean floor!

See that snail wrapped in curls?
Look! An oyster wearing pearls!
Watch the octopus oh so dark,
But don't you dare to pet the shark!

Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!
Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!

Now we're very far below,
The lantern fish are all aglow.
Is that a tiny shock you feel?
You just met an electric eel!

Giant blue whales start to stir,
Bigger than dinosaurs ever were!
Wave good-bye to the squid and sponge,
This is the end of our deep-sea plunge!

Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!
Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!

I remember how excited Uli got, after I showed him my pictures I took while I was snorkeling. He wanted to see this wonderful world by himself. I taught him how to snorkel and after a while he really liked it. He could see by himself what a wonderful underwater world was waiting for him to explore. And he was so excited to see his first ray in the shallow water, it was almost floating towards him.

 

Honey, I miss you so much and you left a big big hole in my heart. It hurts so much to be alone. You were my everything, my soulmate, you brightened my day with your presense. Your laugh was so catching. There are so many things I wanted to tell you, but now you're gone. I don't know how to live without you. In loving memory,

Yvonne

In October 2006 a tremendous early snowstorm hit Buffalo, NY. Two feet of heavy snow fell on trees that were still fully in leaf, knocking out electrical power in the area for a full week. For a few days during this unusual event, Ulrich stayed at our house. With his quiet good cheer and wry humor, he seemed to be everywhere, helping us to shovel the heavy snow and clear branches, and washing dishes after meals. In the evenings, we all joked and told stories by candlelight; he quietly befriended our old dog. This is how I really came to know Ulrich.

Yvonne and Baur family, we are so very sorry for your loss. We miss Ulrich very much.
