Robert Floyd Baker, 91, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away in Memphis, Tennessee on Wednesday, July 27, 2010. He was born June 25, 1919 in Mountain Home to Floyd and Ocra Adams Baker.
Robert served his country April 14, 1941 - September 6, 1945 in WWII with the Army Corps of Engineers. He was stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood, Brownsville and San Antonio, Texas for training and served overseas in Scotland, N. Africa and Italy.
He married Donalee Smith Baker in April 1946 (who passed away from her battle with cancer in 1960) and they had one daughter, Deborah Kay Baker Lechtenberger. Robert retired from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in 1980 where he worked as a biologist for 30 years. Robert married Joy Benson Baker of Gainsville, Missouri on December 4, 1991.
Robert is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Rex Asa, and wife, Donalee. He is survived and lovingly remember by his wife of 20 years, Joy; one sister, June Baker Bergstrom of Apple Valley, California; daughter, Debbe Baker Lechtenberger of San Antonio, Texas; step-daughters Debbie Neal of Dallas, Texas, Stephanie Rudder of Russellville, Arkansas and Lee Benson of Memphis, Tennessee; stepson Sam Benson and family of Denver, Colorado; one niece and four nephews, 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
Robert was an avid hunter and outdoorsman making him a perfect fit working for the Game and Fish Commission. He loved what he did and continued hunting almost until his death. Once in retirement, Robert became a cattle rancher in Gepp, Arkansas.
A memorial will be held at his favorite deer-hunting tree stand sometime in the fall of hunting season this year, where he will be surrounded by loved ones who will honor his memory at that time. Those that knew Robert will remember him fondly for his generosity, enjoyment of teaching others to hunt and fish, and his love of telling stories to his grandchildren, niece, nephews, and great grandchildren, great nieces, and great nephews.
