Just was talking about Basil tonight and found that he had passed a year ago unbeknown to us. Tom was a wonderfully warm soul and mentored me and many, many of my fellow Delta Chi brothers at Purdue over the years. I have been very fortunate in my life to have 3 different men who were father figures to me over the years after I started college and Tom was the first. He always had a wise heart and was quick with a joke to lighten the mood. We got a chance a few years ago to see him when we were back in Indiana and he was still in great spirits and we enjoyed our time with him. There is a hole in my heart tonight knowing of Tom's passing.

Our Mom, Edith Prien, loved her "boys" from Delta Chi and held Mr. Bauch in the highest regard. He was a wonderfully kind and decent man, who is remembered with fondness by our family.
