Charles “Chuck” Baker

Charles “Chuck” Baker was born October 24, 1930 in Los Angeles, CA. He died June 25, 2013 in Seattle, after an accident on a boat in Sitka, AK.

Chuck graduated from Federal Way High School in 1951, then joined the Navy serving on a destroyer, the USS Marshall, during the Korean War. He was employed in the Alaska fishing industry for the rest of his working life.

His spare time after this was spent working on a boat co-owned with his older son. His favorite ‘hobby” was keeping in touch with classmates, shipmates, former work colleagues, and, of course, family.

He is survived by his wife Reona, sons Mike (Kris) and Andy (Marilou) Baker, and 4 beautiful grandchildren, Steven, Katherine, Summer & Erik Baker.

Chuck’s ashes will be placed at the Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, WA. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
