Obituary
GEORGE BRUCE BAKER, known to most as Bruce, was born
on January 22, 1957 in Baltimore, MD to the late Elisha Baker Jr.
and Mildred Jean Baker. After a lengthy illness, he departed this life
in the early morning hours on May I, 2016.
Bruce was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System.
He attended Frederick Douglass High School. Early in his life, Bruce
was baptized at Whitestone Baptist Church where he accepted
Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

After being honorably discharged from the Army, he then found
employment with a number of companies including Bethlehem
Steel, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Fort Meade,
Heidtman Steel and Good Samaritan Hospital, just to name a few.

Gray-Hicks. On September 5, 1998, Bruce married his lovely wife,
Wendy and became a wonderful dad to her two children, Thomas
Hicks, Jr. and Llauryn Hicks. He raised and loved them as his
own. Bruce and Wendy spent seventeen blissful years together.
Bruce loved sports to the utmost. He was truly a "Mr. ESPN".
He enjoyed playing cards with his boys, watching the football or
basketball game, playing Pinochle, and talking a lot of junk with
the fellas.

sons, Terrence Baker and Thomas Hicks, [r.; daughter, Llauryn
