He was born to the late Melvin and Clara Baker on May 10th, 1933 in Crockett County, Tennessee. Along with his parents, he was also preceded in death by his sister, Laverne Elmore. Bobby was a devout Christian and member of Ellendale Methodist Church. He was a faithful servant of the Lord and served his church in many capacities. He, along with 2 of his partners started their own business. His partners and employees were treated like family. Bobby was known for helping anyone he met. He was always full of positive energy, full of integrity, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be missed by everyone who knew him.
