Elmer "Bud" Duane Baker
Elmer Duane "Bud" Baker passed away at home with his family in Orick on September 10, 2003 at the age of 69. He was a native of Lansing, Michigan.
Bud worked in sawmills all his life. He enjoyed walking on the beach, picking up agates, looking for treasures that other people had left behind, and fishing with family.
He loved to scratch lottery tickets. On his 69th birthday, his family purchased 69 tickets for him to scratch. He enjoyed making animals out of rocks especially turtles. He taught his grandson, Steven Baker how to make them, so the tradition will stay alive.
Dad taught his sons to always fix things themselves. He believed this way, you knew it would be done right and would add with a chuckle, you could save a buck too. He raised his boys to be responsible and hardworking individuals. He loved telling silly jokes and stories to everyone who crossed his path.
He treasured his 8 grandchildren with all his heart, but held a special place in his heart for his only granddaughter, Sarah Baker.
