Barry Baker
Barry Baker passed away peacefully, at home, on Sunday, March 24, 2024.
Barry leaves behind his loving wife, Meg (Zajac), and sons, Spencer (Michelle) and Tyler (Laura). He also leaves behind his greatest joys, his four grandchildren, Charlie, Colby, Olivia and Virginia. He is survived by his sister, Patricia (David Chadwick), as well as a loving, extended family. Barry was raised in Milford, CT, where he excelled in multiple sports, especially football. He was an All-State running back at Jonathan Law before heading to Milford Academy and ultimately being awarded an athletic scholarship to UConn, where he met his wife, Meg. He was inducted into the Milford High School Hall of Fame in 2023 and celebrated with many of his former teammates. Barry and Meg raised their family in Milford, where he owned Baker's Bar and Grille for over 20 years. Barry loved to host family and friends at the bar and often he could be found in a circle of friends, arms around each other, singing "Piano Man." He was an avid fan of UConn sports, the Yankees, and Bruce Springsteen. He was a man who lived life to the fullest and embraced everyone he met. He made all that he encountered feel like family, and those who knew him have many fond memories of times spent with him. He enjoyed traveling with friends and family and attending sporting events, no matter when and where they were located. He was proud that he never missed one of his children's games and could always be seen on the sideline, enthusiastically cheering them on. He leaves a lifetime worth of friends behind, including childhood friends, Uconn teammates, and many more he met along the way. In order to honor his legacy, we ask that you live life to its fullest because that is what he would have wanted.
