James Baker Obituary
Jim retired from Cheek & Shockley after 31 years. He loved to have fun, listening to beach music and relaxing by the pool were two of his favorite things to do. He was a member of the Richmond East Moose Lodge, the Eagles in Petersburg and the VFW.
His loss will be felt across the state by friends and loved ones (two & four-legged). We will always remember and miss his laugh and his love. RIP my love.
A celebration of life will be held January 18, 2024 at the Richmond East Moose, located in Mechanicsville VA. Visitors are welcome from 2 to 6 p.m. In lieu of flowers, we ask to make a donation in Jim's name to Community Hospice House, 1133 Old Bon Air Road, Richmond VA 23235. www.CommunityHospiceHouse.com.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
