Kasper Eugene (K.E.) Bachman
Burley - Kasper Eugene (K.E.) Bachman, beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away quietly on Thursday, July 29, 2004 at Highland Estates.
K.E. was born October 26, 1907, in Ogden, Utah. He was the ninth child of 11 children born to Casper and Rebecca Wheelwright Bachman. He grew up and was educated in Ogden. At age 25 he moved to Burley, Idaho and started his own plumbing business, 'Bachman Plumbing & Heating'. There he worked for the next 65 years, enjoying his work and the people he worked with.
A year after moving to Burley he married a lovely, young teacher from Heyburn, Idaho, Amelia Anderson. Theirs was a happy marriage and to this union five children were born; Rex, Carol (Aileen), Kay, Jeanne and Becky. The family was sealed together in the Idaho Falls Temple in 1953.
Our father loved his work, his wife, and his family. Later in life, when he had some time, he became an avid gardener, specializing in 'gourds' for the children. And when he was asked, he could recite verbatim, his favorite poetry, usually by Robert Service, " Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and grows and why he left his native land...."
We will really miss him; he's been a light in our lives. He was a joy to the end (and this is quite an accomplishment for a '96'-year-old!) But now he is with God, Kay and his Amelia.
His surviving children include; Rex and Caroline Bachman of Brigham City, Utah, Carol 'Aileen' James of San Francisco, Calif., Jeanne and Alfred Paiz of Pasadena, Calif., and Becky and Larry Roberts of American Fork, Utah.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, August 2, 2004, at the Burley 7th Ward building, 2200 Oakley Ave. A viewing will be held Sunday from 6-8 p.m. at the church. Burial will be at Riverside cemetery in Heyburn.
The family suggests memorial contributions to be made to the Idaho Youth Ranch. Services are under the direction of Hansen Mortuary Burley Chapel.
