It is great sadness that I learned of Dick's passing. As Fire Marshal for 22 years for Caldwell County, I had the opportunities to see Dick at our meetings. Dick also gave me a lot of great advice as a new Fire Marshal. I was blessed by knowing Dick.

Everyone at Bahama Fire Department has Chief Sauer and his family in our thoughts and prayers. Chief Sauer was always there for us and ready to lend a helping hand. He truly loved the fire service and it is still shown in Durham County till this day.

I am so sad to learn of Dick's passing. He was a wonderful, caring person and always had a kind word. I got to know Dick when I was employed with Ashe Memorial Hospital Mountain Hearts facility. He was very proud of Rose and his family. I will always remember him bringing samples of Rose's sugar free deserts to share with the staff. Every year since leaving Mountain Hearts I have recieved a Christmas card or email from him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. May God comfort you.

Our thoughts and prayers are extended to Dick's family in their time of loss. He was a leader in the fire service and I had the honor of working with him as a fire chief and fire marshal from the early 1980's until his retirement. He will be missed.

My prayers are with Chief Sauer's family. Chief Sauer was a mentor to me, as well as others in the fire service in North Carolina. It was an honor to work for him in the Fire Marshal's Office in Durham County.

I knew and work with Mr. Sauer when he was with the Parkwood Fire Department and then as the Durham County Fire Marshal. He gave me a great deal of support with the Redwood Fire Department when we started it and on through the years. He was a good man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you the family during this time.

Hello,
I'm Wanda Elliott, I used to live next door to you guys on Braddock Circle. I have thought about all of you through the years and always wondered how you all were doing.
I read about Mr Sauers death in the paper this morning, I can tell you he had many friends. I work in Durham and a few just from here knew him.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dick was always very nice and very helpful to me. I served as the Wake County Fire Marshal in the 90s and Dick set the model for all other Fire Marshals to follow. He implemented innovations and programs that were really cutting edge in North Carolina. I respected him and thank him for the help and support that he gave me.

Dick was "Mr. Mountain Hearts"
for years, usually being the first patron there, arriving very early in the morning. He was very special, upbeat, with a quirky sense of humor. He will be remembered as very special...wonderful friend!

dear Sauer Family,
My prayers of peasce and thoughts of sorry are sent to you. Dick was my oldest cousin.
The older cousins at family gathers would chase down the younger cousins and tie them up in put them in a circle until they had rounded up the group. Dick purposely left my hands loose one time- so that I could run again...what a "guy".
I am sorry that I couldn't be present to support you during this time in your journey. I just got the message today.
With lots of l ove and prayers --- i will offer mass this evening for Dick and the family.
Frank Wippel JR.

Working for him at the Durham County Fire Marshal's Office. We had a FANTASTIC TRIP to San Antonio, Texas attending the NFPA Convention. He proved not just a leader, but a great man also!
