It is with profound sorrow and deep respect that we announce the passing of Richard "Bob" Baker, who passed away on November 13, 2023. Born on April 8, 1959, Bob was a person of strength, resilience, and a reserved demeanor. He imparted wisdom through his favorite saying, "You have to work for what you want in life," a testament to his own life's journey.

Bob was a proud graduate of Berea-Midpark High School, East Bagley Road, Berea, OH, Class of 1977. His high school years were marked by hard work and perseverance, traits which stayed with him throughout his life. He was a man of simple pleasures, who loved steak and always enjoyed a refreshing Coke. He was an ardent fan of The Beatles, whose music soothed his soul and lifted his spirits.

A passionate fan of the Steelers, Bob's favorite recreational activity was bowling, a game where he found tranquility and relaxation. He loved walking around local football spots, indulging in his love for sports. A lover of animals, one of Bob's causes close to his heart was the ASPCA.

Bob's most cherished colors were different shades of blue, reflecting his calm and reserved personality. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes about his integrity and character.

Bob is survived by his children, Shannon Penaflorida and Richard Baker, and his siblings, Anita Baker and James Baker. They will forever remember his wisdom, courage, and unwavering love. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Marjorie Baker, and their memories lived on in Bob's remarkable life.

Bob's life was a testament to his belief in hard work and determination. His legacy will live on through those who had the privilege to know him and learn from his life experiences. His memory will be cherished, his absence deeply felt, but his immeasurable influence will continue to guide us. May his soul rest in peace.
