The family of Frank T. Bausmith has asked the PGR to accompany him to Conejo Mountain Funeral Home and Memorial Park, 2052 Howard Rd., Camarillo, CA 93012
 
Mr. Bausmith joined the US Navy in February 1943 and was discharged in July 1946.  He was a Pharmacist Mate 3rd Class.  Served in the Pacific Theater during his first enlistment and in March 1949 thru February 1950 in the USMC Reserves in the 21st Infantry Battalion.  During his tour of duty he was awarded 2 Bronze Stars, Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Medal, Navy Unit Commendation Medal and a Good Conduct Medal.
 
Born in Irwington, NJ.  Married to Jeanne for 68 years and had a son Frank, daughters Barbara, Carol, Lynda and Joanne.  14 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.  Frank was a Construction Supervisor in civilian life.  He will be missed by many.
