He was born on Dec. 10, 1916 at Edison, NE to Willard and Dorothea (Haber-man) Baker. In the late 1930s, he joined the CCC and served in Grand Rapids, SD. Ernie settled in Seattle after serving in the U.S. Navy during W.W. II. In the 60s, he worked at a military base as a civilian overseeing the division of food and billeting for Global Industries on Kwajalein Island in the Marshall Islands. He also worked at the Mecca Cafe on Queen Anne Hill as a bartender until his retirement. Later, Ernie married Sylvia DeRuwe Boule. The couple made their home in West Seattle until 1990, when they moved to Wenatchee. Ernie was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church of Wenatchee, a member of the Wenatchee Eagles Lodge Aerie #204, a member of the Wenatchee Chapter of the CCC, and also belonged to several pinochle clubs and the Wenatchee Senior Center. Ernie lived a quiet and joyful life, full of love and faith. He and Sylvia spent many hours camping, fishing and crabbing. In addition to spending time with friends and family, he tenderly worked in his gardens, raising vegetables and flowers. He especially loved his giant sunflowers "reaching up to Heaven" as he would say. He was a loving and supportive husband and father. His courage, strength and endurance in battling heart disease for the past seven years, with a sense of humor and a love of life was an inspiration to all of us. He will be fondly remembered by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. May Ernie rest in peace and Sylvia know the loving and prayerful support of her family and friends. Survivors include his devoted wife, Sylvia Baker of the family home; his stepson, Bob Boule of Wenatchee; his daughter Cherie and husband Larry Kaminski of Mukilteo; stepdaughter Evonne Lacy of Bremerton; brother Earl and wife Jeddine Baker of Texas; sister Luetta Adams of Lincoln, NE; sister-in-law Maddline Baker of McCook, NE; grandson Jason and wife Jenny Kaminski of Everett; grandson Ed Kowalkowski of Bremerton and granddaughter Jenny Kowalkowski, also of Bremerton; three great-grandchildren, Mathew, Dylan and Morgan; many nieces and nephews.
