6A • September 4, 2015 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com Obituaries Ted A. Baughman David D. McDonald May 17, 1946 — Aug. 16, 2015 Aug. 3, 1928 — Aug. 19, 2015 Ted A. Baughman, 69, of Astoria, Ore., died suddenly on Aug. 16, 2015. A well- known and accomplished sport ¿sherman, Ted was packing up after landing a brilliant coho on the sands of Social Security Beach. He collapsed and could not be revived. Ted was born on May 17, 1946, in Columbus, Ohio, to Lawrence and Beverly Baughman, and moved to the Astoria area in 1948. Ted spent his formative years in Jeffers Gardens at- tending Lewis and Clark Consolidated before graduat- ing from Astoria High School in 1964. After graduation, he enrolled at Clatsop Commu- nity College where he earned an associate degree in indus- trial mechanics in 1966. Ted was soon drafted by the U.S. Army, where he ex- celled as a diesel mechanic and sharpshooter. Shortly af- ter basic training in 1966, Ted married Mickey Reneke, who would remain his beloved wife for the next 49 years. Following Ted’s honor- able discharge from the mili- tary, he became a millwright at the Àedgling Wauna Mill in 1968, which was the start of an uninterrupted 40-year career that would carry him until his retirement in 2008. Ted was a dedicated fa- ther to his two sons, Ted Jr. and Chris, who grew up to Ted Baughman become a successful scientist and accomplished machin- ist, respectively. In addition to their own offspring, Ted and Mickey’s home was a reliable sanctuary for numer- ous children over the years, many of whom grew to think of them as their second par- ents. Ted loved sports, and par- ticipated in numerous volley- ball, baseball and bowling leagues. In 1973, Ted bowled the ¿rst perfect 300 game re- corded at Lower Columbia Bowl during league play. His true passion, however, was for ¿shing. He steadily harvested steelhead, coho and chinook from the boun- tiful waters of Clatsop Coun- ty, only to share them with friends and family. Consid- ered by many as the “mayor” of the Olney bridge on the Klaskanine River, Ted nev- er hesitated to offer advice, encouragement or a helpful hand with the net. Ted displayed an unending willingness to help out friends, family, and even the newest acquaintance, frequently de- ploying his considerable skill and energy without notice, and always staying until the work was done. He adored children, and “Papa Ted” al- ways had time to wrestle, play catch, ¿sh, ride bikes, play games or just tickle. Ted is survived by his wife of 49 years, Mickey Baughman; son and daugh- ter-in-law, Ted Baughman and Jennifer Treiberg (Red- mond, Wash.); son and daughter-in-law, Chris and Michelle Baughman (Knap- pa, Ore.); grandchildren, Erika Baughman, Sawyer Baughman-Treiberg, KayLee Baughman and Cody Cars- ner; sibling, Nancy (Kevin) Miller; aunt, Janet Godwin; in-laws, Tom Reneqe, Ginger Reneke, Terry and Rick Cul- ver and Chuck Reneke; niec- es and nephews, Judy, Dawn, Tracy, Joe, Amanda, Jordan, Nikki, Brent, Haden and Jax- on; and cousins, Chuck God- win and Tom Godwin. Family and friends are invited to the Celebration of Ted’s Life on Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Warrenton Commu- nity Center, starting at 1 p.m. An online guest book for comments is available at www.oceanviewastoria.com Keith Erin Turley Keith Turley of world issues, and brother- in-law, Jim Heuer.
