MIDDLETOWN,OH— Joseph R. Baker Sr. founded Jo-
seph R. Baker Funeral Home in 1923 on Central Av-
enue in Middletown, and moved it to its present loca-
tion on Manchester Avenue in 1927. He was known for
his kindness and friendliness to everyone he met and his
compassion to the families he cared for. He was a devot-
ed Red’s fan and would take the community kids to the
Red’s baseball games.
By the 1940’s, Joseph’s three children had joined him in his
business. After serving inWWII, his son, Joseph R. Baker Jr.
took over the firm and grew the business to what it is today.
In 1990, wanting to retire, Joseph sold his family’s busi-
ness to longtime friend Dan M. Stevens. Stevens contin-
ued to build the success of the funeral home by focusing
on providing the best services possible.
