George Richard 'Dick' Baker
HAGERMAN - George Richard "Dick" Baker, 88, of Hagerman, died Sunday, Jan. 7, 2007, at his home.
He was born May 10, 1918 , in Emmett, Idaho, the son of H.K. and Helen Kennedy Baker. As a young child, Dick lived with his grandparents in Emmett, where he started school. His family later moved to Oregon, where he began working on ranches as a cowboy, a love he retained throughout his life. On July 29, 1943, Dick entered the U.S. Army Air corps and served as a pilot during World War II until his discharge in 1945. While stationed in Hondo, Texas, he met the love of his life, Lela Grace "Gracie" Moore, and they were married March 6, 1945.
Following his discharge, the family moved to Willow Creek, Ore., where he became a farmer. They lived there until 1956, when they moved to Filer. They later moved to Hagerman where Dick built his own home and where they have since resided. Dick Worked many years for Hood Construction Company laying pipe. He was one of those gentlemen gifted with a green thumb. His roses and vegetable gardens were the envy of all. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He and Grace, along with their children, had many successful hunting and fishing trips. Of all his accomplishments in life, the one of which he was most proud was his family.
He is survived by his wife, Lela Grace Baker of Hagerman; seven children, John (Sandra) Baker and Richard (Wanda) Baker, both of Hagerman. Kenneth (Arleen) Baker of Jerome, Kathy (Jim) Lane of Hansen, Debra (Rob) Bennett of Gooding, Peggy (Steve) Bean of Filer and Linda (Don) Friel of Hagerman; 24 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; one brother, Don Baker of Caldwell; and one sister, Mary Logan of Boise. He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, Hank; one grandson, Russell; one granddaughter, Diana; and three great-granddaughters, Janessa, Brenna Shey and Jenni Lynn.
At Dick's request, no service is planned. Cremation was under the direction of White Mortuary, "Chapel by the Park," in Twin Falls
