Thursday, March 10, 2016Larry R. Baker, of White Lake, died Tuesday, March 8, 2016, at his home. He was 73 years old. He was born on Dec. 22, 1942, in Brownwood, Texas, a son of the late Richard and Bette (Boggs) Baker.

He graduated from Lincoln High School and attended Drake University, both in Des Moines. He continued his education at Michigan State University. Larry followed his grandfather and father into the grocery business and owned several stores, having retired in 2002.
He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, woodworking, antiquing and whitewater canoeing. He was an avid Green Bay Packers fan and had a place in his heart for all the animals his wife brought home.
