Robert Henry Baker Jr.

Robert "Bob" Henry Baker, Jr., of Powell, Ohio (formerly of Tucson, AZ, and Fort Wayne, IN), was called home to the Lord on Sunday, August 10, 2025. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on February 15, 1948, Bob attended Central Catholic High School before earning an Evans Scholarship to Indiana University, where he received his master's degree in business.

His professional journey included leadership roles with private banks as well as major organizations such as First National Bank, VISA, and Coinstar.
