Leave a tributeDear Yvonne, I learned a sad news from Olivia. Sachiko and Shigeji offer our deepest condolences. He will be missed. Please have a strength to recover from sadness.
als wir Ulrich und Dich in München das erste Mal getroffen haben merkte man sofort was für ein wunderbarer, netter und lustiger Mensch Ulrich war.
Wir werden Ulrich vermissen.
Wir wünschen Dir alle Kraft dieser Welt die Du jetzt brauchst.
Unser tief empfundenes Mitgefühl gilt Dir und der Familie

i remember Uli as a charming person and a brilliant physicist. I have written a short obituary on my particle physics blog, at http://www.science20.com/quantum_diaries_survivor .
My condolences

My thoughts go out to you in this difficult time. Uli was not only a great physicist, but had a terrific sense of humor and a great outlook on life. I know he treasured his vacations with you. (I remember asking him to referee a paper once, and getting an email back from the vicinity of the Vermilion Cliffs...) We all will surely miss him. -Lance
I vividly remember Uli from my time at Fermilab, where we used to talk about physics and other things and to go out for dinner in the evening. His dedication to physics, his friendly and welcoming personality, his exceptionally kind and humorous character have left a deep impression on me, which I will never forget.
The whole place lit up. On our last meeting, this Spring, he greeted me with a memory of my own children from 25 years ago. How many physicists will do that! He was better than the theorists: he was a great human being.
ph. d. -student at the university in Munich. He finished his ph.d. in 1985. After 1987 he lived in my apartment in Ferny, while working at CERN. During the years I was in close contact with him. For me it is difficult to believe that he does not
live anymore. We were good friends, and I will miss him.
year when I ran into him in Albuquerque & he told me that he had married you. We'll all miss him. Tom Rizzo, SLAC

wir waren überaus geschockt, als uns Yvonne am Freitag diese betrübliche Nachricht übermittelt hatte;
noch wenige Tage vorher waren wir beim Forumtreffen zusammengesessen und haben Pläne geschmiedet;
Es ist für Euch ein unermeßlicher Verlust und wir können Euch nur Kraft wünschen, diesen Schicksalschlag zu ertragen

I would like to send you my condolences again. Seeing Ulrich on a day to day basis, I could tell the effect that you had on him. As short as it was, too short for all of us, his life changed so much, for the better, since he met you. Thank you for having been a great part of his life. Hong
-- Tim Tait, UC Irvine
Wir werden dich vermissen!

Uli was a very good friend and helped us immensely
when we were looking for dibosons in the Tevatron Run I data.
He was my go-to guy for theoretical questions. He will be
greatly missed. Taka Yasuda, Fermilab
Our deepest condolences. Kim and I have many fond memories. I loved the way he talked about his family and Bavaria. Although, I did try to get him to bring back Hofbrauhaus beir.
He has a big smile and sparkle in his eyes whenever he talked of you. We will miss Ulrich.
Our thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.

Leave a Tribute
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
by Desiree
In loving Memory.....
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.
