OBITUARIES
Harold Charles Baker
Boardman
August 18, 1928 - May 24, 2018
Harold Charles Baker,
89, of Boardman died May
24, 2018.
Harold was born
on August 18, 1928,
in Longview, Wash-
ington,
to Ade-
line (Gent) and
William Baker. In
1930 the family,
which included his
older brother Wil- Baker
lard and sister
LaVerne, moved to
Boardman.
There he met
the love of his life,
Mildred
Miller.
They started dating when
Mildred was a freshman
and he was a junior in high
school. He graduated from
Boardman High School in
1946. In May of 1948 he
joined the U.S. Air Force,
the first year of its existence.
They married on December
21, 1952, after dating for
eight years.
Not completely sure he
wanted children, Mildred
convinced him otherwise.
They had Ron in 1954 and
Randy in 1955. He was con-
vinced and the family grew
to include Karen in 1959 and
Kris in 1962. It is hard to
imagine there was anything
he was more proud of, until
the grandkids came along,
and then the great-grandkids.
As a businessman in a
small town, he wore many
hats. With the steady pay-
checks of Mildred’s teach-
ing and his mail route, the
family had an income base
to try other businesses. He
operated a crane that loaded
bombs on river barges and
he developed the first third
of the Bombing Range Road
with his father-in-law’s
dozer. He was a rural mail
carrier for 35 years, once
having the shortest mail
route in the state of Oregon.
He built the Frosty Shake
Drive-In and trailer court
in the old town of Board-
man. When the town was
relocated he built the
Nomad Restaurant.
He was one of the
key businessmen that
planned the reloca-
tion of Boardman in
1967. He also built a
trailer court in Pome-
roy, Wash.
All during this
time he was a farmer
at heart. He raised
alfalfa. Eventually
he went into the
custom hay busi-
ness in Oregon and
Washington. He loved to
build things. Over the years
he built four houses for his
family out of open sage-
brush property. Family was
always included in the busi-
nesses, creating a strong
work ethic in his children.
He is survived by his
friend of 80 plus years, and
wife for 65 of them, Mil-
dred; his four children
Ron (Glaya) Baker, Randy
(Kathy) Baker, Karen Pur-
cell and Kris (R.B.) Dorran;
his grandchildren Brandi
(Manolo) Zavala, Jared
(Norma Ayala) Purcell,
Kevin (Bridgette) Baker,
Keith Baker, Kenna Purcell
and Charlie (Mariah) Baker;
and 11 great-grandchildren
(with another this fall).
There will be a graveside
service at 10 a.m. on June 2,
2018, at the Riverview Cem-
etery in Boardman, with a
luncheon and celebration of
life at noon at the Boardman
Senior Center.
In lieu of flowers, please
send donations to the Board-
man Senior Center.

HERMISTON HERALD
A Hermiston home was
badly damaged in a fire last
Wednesday morning.
Umatilla County Fire
District 1 responded to a
home in the 1300 block

around 4:45 a.m. on May
23, and found smoke and
fire spreading from the back
side of the home into the
attic area. Crews made sure
all residents of the home
were outside, and then
attacked the fire from both
inside and outside.
No one was injured in
the fire, and some items

UCFD estimated the loss
at $80,000 for the home,
and $40,000 for the con-

They were aided by
