Racine – Edward E. Baker, 80, passed away at Parkside Manor in Kenosha on Sunday, August 27, 2017. He was born in Sparta on May 9, 1937, son of the late Clarence and Ruby (nee: Woolheiser) Baker. On January 7, 1956, he was united in marriage to Erlene H. Twesme. Mr. Baker retired from We Energies in 1994 after working 40 years as a Powerplant Operator.

Ed Baker enjoyed his retirement living between his home in Three Lakes that he built by hand, and snowbirding in Florida. Ever the outdoorsman, Ed loved to go hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, canoeing, and camping with his family. He was helpful and always there for anyone in need. Of course, he was a die-hard Packers fan.

Pleasant, Terry (Valorie) Baker of Racine, and Troy (Kimberly) Baker of Fort Atkinson; grandchildren: Ted Baker, Terin Baker, Kelly Baker, Brett Baker, Chris Baker, Evan Baker, Ryan Baker, Collin Baker, and Megan Baker, Teri Graceffa, and Aaron Graceffa; great grandchildren, Katlin, Abby, Aaron, Alex, Winter, Maze, and Autumn.
