Charles William Baker, age 79 of Miamisburg, Ohio went to be with Jesus, Monday, September 12, 2016. He was born in Winchester, Ohio on September 8, 1937, the son of Ralph and Shirley (Wheatley) Baker. He was a carpenter by trade and retired from General Motors after 30 years of service. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and attended Clearcreek Christian Assembly of God in Springboro.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law Charles Todd and Aleshia Baker of Miamisburg, 3 grandchildren Victoria, Jordan, and Joshua Baker, and nieces Penne Mohr and Rhonda Gatlin.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Alberta JoAnn Baker and parents.

He was a loving husband, father, papaw and friend. His life was a living testament of loving others and sharing the simple things such as a cup of coffee with friends, laughing, and taking time to lend a hand whenever needed. How fitting that he was a carpenter like his savior and that he is now at his forever home in heaven.
