Ed Baker

3 June 1940 - 31 June 2009
 

 With heavy hearts, we must pass on the news of the death of long time Museum Member Ed Baker. For more than 25 years Ed was a very important piece of McChord and its history wearing many hats at the Museum. Born in the Territory of Hawaii, Ed worked at many aircraft company's, retiring in the mid 80's from the Boeing Company.

From the Tower, to the Gallery to the his beloved C-47, Ed has left his mark around the museum, being a important driving force in many Museum projects.

Ed is survived by his son William Franco, sister Emma, plus several sisters and brothers

Often known as "Mr. McChord Air Museum" Ed will certainly be long remembered for his many years of service in support of the Museum.
