Jack was born in Hanford, CA to Floyd and Grace Baker, and graduated from Lemoore High School in 1952. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1952-1955. He then married his true love, Lorraine, in October 1955. In 1957, he received his AA degree from Coalinga Junior College.

His kind words and caring ways will be missed by all, but the lessons taught to his family through his kindness will live on for generations.Services will be held Saturday, September 10 at 10am @ Miller funeral Home, Folsom, with burial following at Lakeside Memorial Lawn.
