Arthur David Baker Jr.
Our father, Arthur David Baker Jr., started a new journey on February 27, 2014. He is now fishing the great heavenly waters with the love of his life, his beloved wife, Rita Joan Baker. Dave never knew a stranger as he always stuck up a conversation with everyone and everyone loved him. He worked at United Package Liquors for 21 years in various positions and for almost a year at Big Red Liquors. He is survived by his daughters, Debbie Baker and Vicki Miller (Tony); grandchildren, Rachel Day and Chris Day; great-grandchild, Chandler Rapp; and his sister, Loretta Loflin. Viewing will be on March 4th at Indiana Funeral Care and Crematory, Harry H. Moore Chapel from 5:00pm –6:30pm with a service from 6:30pm–7:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association.

Deb and Vickie- your Dad was the best neighbor a girl could have had. Dave and Joan were always wonderful to me and PoP. Your dad always kept an eye out for me, and I will never forget that. Dave- say hi to Pop for me. You will be missed

Vicki,
My prayers and thoughts are with you in the loss of your dad. I did get the opportunity to meet him a couple times in the office and he was very happy and friendly. It is so difficult to lose our parents — especially in a short period of time. I know you and your family are going to miss him. Take care
