He worked building chicken houses and installing equipment, but worked primarily in the pulpwood industry as an equipment operator for most of his life. Mr. Baker enjoyed going fishing, swapping and buying tools, and attending trade days on the weekends. He was a loving and caring father who would give you the shirt off of his back if he could.
