He was born May 9, 1929, to Joseph Louis Baptiste and Rose Marvel (Copaugh) Baptiste in Pawhuska, Okla., on the Osage Reservation. He was a proud member of the Potawatomi Tribe and was a regional representative for the Tribe for 10 years. After retiring from being the representative, he continued to rep resent his culture in his participation at local powwows. He enjoyed gourd dancing and teaching his culture to the younger ones. Roscoe served in the Navy Seabee's during the Korean War. He helped build an air strip on Guam. He was a construction millwright and worked on power plants; one job was in Page, Ariz., where he befriended Navajo co-workers and learned how to make silver and turquoise jewelry from them. He worked as a golf course superintendent for many golf courses around Oregon. Two were in McMinnville: Michelbook Country Club and The Bayou. He picked up on the golfing hobby quickly. He enjoyed hunting with his sons, camping in an old wall canvas tent with a wood-burning stove like his father and mother did. But through the years, as it got harder to trek through the woods, he took up bench target shooting and building his own bench guns. He won many trophies that were displayed throughout his room. He loved the outdoors, camping and fishing with the family. He has left a very rich legacy of love and fond memories for not only his family but many friends. Roscoe Leroy Baptiste will be placed to rest Nov. 1 at Willamette National Cemetery with full military honors. He was preceded in death by his parents and four brothers: Joseph Edward, John Reginald, Merle Lloyd and Louis Divonnis. He is survived by his wife, Maxine Eileen (Reid) Baptiste; daugh ter, Regena Rose Story; son, Joseph Louis Baptiste; daughter, Ra mona and her husband Kevin Kruger; son, Steven Leroy and his wife Darci Baptiste; daughter, Rebecca Cecilia and her husband Bill Davidson; 13 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren; and a "little bear," the dog that barks too much. 2 Happy 6th Birthday Orrin James Reid October 23 We love you, Mom, Dad and Kaleb.
