Notes - Bausch, Karl McKeown – One of Nebraska’s finest sons, passed away at 4:28 PM on Thursday, February 24, at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame. He will be missed by many whose lives he touched with his intelligence, grace, humor and love. With him were Evelyn, his wife of 65 years, his son Robert, and daughter Joan. He is also survived by Robert’s wife Elisabeth and their daughter Kym, and Joan’s daughter Wendy. He lived in Burlingame from 1947 to 1984, and since then in San Mateo.
He was born January 19, 1908 in O’Neill, Nebraska. He had a career as a professional electrical engineer, mainly in San Francisco, that spanned 44 years. A highlight of his early career was when he served as Chief Electrician aboard the United Fruit Co. steamship Talamanca on the San Francisco-Panama route. A love of music and talent on the trumpet led him to create and lead a six piece dance band that played around the Bay Area for a number of years.
The last 36 years of his career were with Bechtel Corporation, for whom he was Chief Electrical Engineer, among many other duties. During these years he designed large commercial institutional and industrial buildings and facilities. Later projects with Bechtel involved rapid transit systems.
Professional memberships included IEEE, PCEA, the San Francisco Electric Club (President), Engineer’s Club, and The Commonwealth Club.
He was a 61 year member of Summit Lodge No.1112 Free and Accepted Masons of California at Knights Ferry, and a 32nd degree member of Scottish Rite of Free Masonry S.J. at San Francisco.
Cremation is being arranged by Crosby N. Gray & Co. in Burlingame, and a private family memorial will be held at Skylawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Children’s Hospital at Stanford in memory of his grandson Geoffrey Bausch.
