Thomas Frank Bauman

Obituary It is with great sadness, yet deep gratitude for a life well-lived, that we announce the passing of Thomas Frank Bauman, who departed this world peacefully in his sleep on July 13, 2026, at his home. Born on September 9, 1954, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Thomas was a beacon of strength and kindness to all who knew him, leaving behind a legacy of love and service. Thomas was born to Flora Smith and Robert Baumann, who predeceased him alongside his cherished son, Thomas, and beloved wife, Rose. He was also predeceased by his second wife, Rosalie Skaziak, with whom he shared 30 wonderful years, until her passing on November 28, 2025. Despite these losses, Thomas lived a life full of warmth and joy, deeply rooted in the love of his extensive family and many friends. He is survived by his ex-wife, Patricia Regalbuto, and together they raised two remarkable children, Charles Bauman and Patricia Bauman. Thomas’s heart was further filled with joy through his 11 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, who brought him endless pride and happiness. He also leaves behind his stepson, Howard, and Howard’s loving wife, Nicole. Thomas's family extended beyond his immediate circle. He is survived by his brother, Dana Bauman, Dana's wife, Lisa, and their children, as well as his sisters, Sharlene Hoagie, her husband and son, and Beverly Hardwick with her husband, son, and two daughters. Thomas was cherished by a large circle of friends, all of whom adored his gentle spirit and generous heart. A proud veteran, Thomas served his country with honor as a member of the United States Navy, a service that instilled in him values of integrity and dedication. His patriotism and commitment to his fellow servicemen and women were evident in his daily life and the stories he shared with those around him. A funeral service celebrating Thomas’s life will be held on August 18, 2026, at 2:30 PM at the Washington Crossing Cemetery, located at 830 Highland Road, Newtown, Pennsylvania. The service will be conducted with reverence and respect, reflecting Thomas’s love for his country and family, featuring a processional, prayers, hymns, scripture readings, and words of remembrance.
