Charles Barker, a master machinist, surgical instrument maker, and tool and die maker, was a long time resident of San Ramon, CA, having worked for many years in the Oakland / San Francisco bay area.
His family was originally from Michigan and he is survived by many, unfortunately, unknown, relatives there. He grew up in Lodi, CA and the surrounding areas. His father's name was Robin Leroy Barker and his mother's maiden name was Gertrude Binger.
Charlie made many friends over the years and could always be counted on in a pinch to solve a mechanical problem or invent something new to fill the void. Charlie was a community volunteer (Boy Scouts and 4-H), and an avid fisherman and camper, loving Yosemite and Lake County, CA. He served in the Pacific (Navy SeaBees) during WWII and also used his machining skills on the Manhattan Project. Charlie deeply loved his wife and family. Although he may not have always been able to show it, those that loved him knew.
Charlie tragically lost a short battle to cancer in 1990. He is buried next to his loving wife, Ann Barker, and near his eldest son, Douglas Leroy Barker. He is sorely missed.
