∼Allan R. Baer, 86, died Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at the Seacoast Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Gloucester, MA. Born and raised in Detroit, MI, he was the son of the late Ralph and Marie (Douse) Baer. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for two years before entering the military.
A highly decorated veteran, he served his country during the Vietnam Era as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S Air Force. He entered the Aviation Cadet Program and was awarded his Pilot Wings in 1951. Lt Col Baer flew combat missions in Southeast Asia and the Republic of Vietnam. During that period, his aerial skill and courage in the face of intense hostile ground fire were the decisive factors in the defeat of the enemy forces. Lt Col was awarded the Air Force Cross, Silver Star Medal and multiple awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross, among other medals and awards. He retired from the Air Force in 1976 following twenty-seven and a half years of service to his country.

In 1996, Baer chose another arena to serve and became a volunteer for SeniorCare Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. Each year, he contributed an average of 500 hours of service where he was responsible for overseeing 17 tax sites and 41 counselors. In addition, he offered tax counseling in Beverly, Ipswich and Hamilton, filing taxes for those in need of assistance. He also assisted those who were homebound in filing their taxes. In 2007, he received the Myra L. Herrick Outstanding Older American Award for his outstanding service to the surrounding communities.
A longtime resident of Beverly, MA, he was a member of the Order of Daedalians, a group of military pilots that met once a month at Hanscom Air Force Base. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend who will be missed by all who knew him.
In addition to his wife, Nancy G.
