Roland Harvey Baham Sr. was born at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, NJ on March 13th 1950 to Lenard Victor Baham and Mildred Pearl Greta (Paige) Baham. He and his family grew up in Teaneck, NJ. He attended Teaneck High School, however decided to leave and enlist in the ARMY in the early 1970's where he obtained his GED. During his ARMY career he served his country and was stationed in Korea for some time as well as Hawaii alongside one of his late brother's Wendell S. Baham. A few years later he received an honorable discharge and ended his career with the ARMY taking on a new career with (UPS) United Parcel Service. That very same year he married June Gracia McLaurin where their union was blessed with three children, Roland Harvey Baham Jr., Karlene Teresa Baham, and Marcus Dijon Baham. Roland, Sr. was a faithful member of a weekly Bowling League at Bowler City in Hackensack, NJ. He was a Dallas Cowboys fanatic (all of his brothers too). To know this man you would know he was funny, silly, despite all he had been through. He was so strong, he lived his life the best he could and will truly be missed.
He was Predeceased by his father; Lenard Victor Baham, wife; June G. McLaurin Baham, Brothers; Douglas G. Baham, Victor R. Baham, and Wendell S. Baham. He is survived by his mother Mildred Pearl Greta (Paige) Baham, children; Roland Harvey Baham, Jr., Karlene Teresa Baham, and Marcus Dijon Baham, grandson; Ethan Michael Baham, sister; Shirley R Best and brother in-law William E.
