He spent more than 23 years at the VA Dept of Transportation as a chief engineer then as a port engineer at the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roney L. Baker, Sr of Charleston, WV and son, Allan Humphries of Williamsburg, VA. The family requests no flowers be sent. There will be a private memorial service at a later date.
