Robert "Bob" Baker
Robert "Bob" Baker, 65, of Arcanum, Ohio, formerly of Ansonia, Ohio
passed away on Saturday, March 2, 2019 in Greenville, Ohio.
He was born on February 2, 1954 to the late Edward and Carol (Steed)
Baker of Ansonia.
In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his wife,
Brenda (Bagwell) Baker, whom he married on February 4, 1985; and his
brother Gary Baker.
Bob was a 1972 graduate from Ansonia High School. He had a passion for
fixing tractors and other farm equipment. Bob spent over 15 years
working for Ron Garrett Chevrolet in Greenville, Ohio as the Parts
Manager. When he was not working in the shop, you could find him
tinkering with anything he could get his hands on. Bob did not know a
stranger. He made friends with anyone and everyone. His caring
personality allowed him to be a role model for many teenagers. Bob
loved firetrucks and dressing up as Santa Claus. His favorite thing to
do after a long day at work was to sit on the couch and enjoy a bowl of
vanilla ice cream.
Bob is survived by his children, Angie (Thom) Spurlock of Greenville,
and Christopher (Stacie) Baker of Arcanum; his grandchildren, Michael
W. (Whitney Yeagle) Johnson, Jr of Greenville, Zachary Robert Baker of
