Joseph Baker Obituary
Joseph M. Baker III
Of Edgewater, MD, passed away January 17, 2023, just days after his 47th anniversary to his dear wife Elaine. Joe was the son of the late Joseph M. Baker, Jr and Bernice Maupin Baker of Annapolis; MD. Joe is also preceded in passing by his sister Rebecca (Becky) Baker and surviving sisters Cynthia Baker and Susan Kalergis and brother Robert Baker. He is survived by his beloved wife Elaine Baker of Edgewater.
Joe graduated from Annapolis High School in 1969 and went on to receive his Business degree from the University of MD. He founded a printing company, Impressions, Inc in 1980 and it was consistently in the Top 100 printers nationally and in the Top 10 in sales per employee. He sold the company in 1997 and retired with Elaine to a life on the water of boating and fishing or on the road on his Harley exploring this great country. In all things was Elaine a big part of his life and accomplishments. They were the Baker Team. He will be greatly missed by many friends spanning more than 60 years. In memory of Joe and the great work of Hospice people please feel free to donate to the Rebecca Fortney Inpatient Care Center at The Hospice of the Chesapeake, 90 Ritchie Hwy., Pasadena, MD 21122.

Elaine, Roger and I are so saddened to learn of Joe´s passing. I love that picture of him because it so embodies Joe and all his warmth and joy. We have fond memories of our times together when Joe and I both worked at ASAE and later when he started Impressions. He always delivered whatever he promised and did so in a very professional but warm way. One of my favorite memories is partying with both of you when Doug Clarke and the Hot Nuts performed for the DC ASAE convention and a pic of the two of you dancing up a storm wound up on the front of the Wash Post Style Section!! What a fun time then and all the times we´d be with you in DC or at your home. Joe was such a warm, genuine guy. He will be missed. We are thinking of you and sending prayers and hugs.
Love, Debbie and Roger

I'll never forget Elaine and Joe. I won't forget how he made eye contact with me to reassure ME, to stroke my hand and give a thumbs up. What a guy.
Elaine: you're dedication to your soulmate was inspirational. You honored him and his wishes.
- I'll call you.
hugging you,
