Robert Quincy Baker Jr. ’32

Bob Baker died on May 4, 1989, after seven months of devastatingly painful illness. According to his wife, Aline, he kept up his spirits remarkably despite this ordeal, and his delicious sense of humor was with him to the end.

Born in Baltimore, Bob moved to Coshocton, Ohio, at an early age and lived out his life there. He went directly from college to the Coshocton National Bank and worked there for 41 years, retiring as V.P. in 1973. Throughout his life there, he was deeply involved in local affairs. He was president of the Coshocton Foundation, a member of Trinity Episcopal Church and of its finance committee, a member of Rotary and Elks Lodge, and treasurer of the Footlight Players Assn. His greatest interest was in the local Dollars for Scholars program. He helped found the local program, served it for 20 years as president and chairman, and later served on the national Dollars for Scholars board. His community can ill afford to lose Bob Baker.

In addition to Aline, his wife of 46 years, survivors include two sons, R. Quincy III and W. Richard, both of

Coshocton; two daughters, Phyllis Weih, of Portland, Me., and Karen Mitzner, of Cambridge, Mass.; and two grandchildren. Our sympathies go to them all in their loss.
