Richard Baden

Richard “Butch” Baden went to be with our Heavenly Father; his wife, Janice and their son, Joseph on October 11, 2020. Richard met the love of his life, Janice L. Baden (Emmick), in January 1963 at their favorite dance spot “The Fun Spot” in East Toledo during his senior year of high school. Ritchie, who also was called that by family members, worked for a short time for his step-uncle at Eprad, an electrical supply company. Richard went to work for LOF Glass plant #6 in Rossford, where after a year on the production line, he entered the electrical department where he worked for 36 years; spending his last 5 years as an hourly supervisor, retiring in June, 2000. Richard enjoyed working around his home with his wife repairing and remodeling. There was nothing he could not fix. Jan and Richard enjoyed eating out and taking drives up to Port Clinton. He was extremely close with his son, Daniel and his wife, Cathleen and very close with his grandsons, Ezra Joseph and his brother John. Richard enjoyed riding his jet ski and going up to Lake Pleasant, Michigan and Traverse City, Michigan with Jan’s sisters, Joyce and Linda and the Rober family.
