TIMOTHY JOSEPH BAKER

Timothy Joseph Baker, 58, of Tampa, Fla., died suddenly in Treasure Island, Fla., on Sun., Jan. 11, 2015. He was the son of Edward and Genevieve Baker of Atlanta, Ga., and Andalusia.

A mass will be celebrated at Christ the King Church on Fri., Jan. 16, 2015, at 2 p.m.

There will be a visitation at 1 p.m. with the family in the chapel prior to the Mass.

Born in Atlanta, Baker was also reared in Andalusia. Entrepreneurial from an early age, he graduated from the University of Alabama where he was also the owner of his first business, The Shirt Shop, in Tuscaloosa, a retail operation still in business. He divested of that company after graduation when a concurrent move to Los Angeles, Calif., shifted him into the cigar industry with an association with Villazon and Company and an assignment to facilitate the company’s purchase of Tinder-box, a leading cigar and gift franchise under the direction of his mentor and national tobacco magnate, Frank Llaneza.

In 1985 Mr. Baker relocated to Tampa, where he planted roots and reared his family.

In Tampa, he honed his entrepreneurial skills with the purchase of a small floor-covering store in 1985 – Naffco. The company flourished under his leadership.

Married to the former Mary Frances Llaneza, his devoted and loving wife of 34 years, he was the proud father of Frank, Joseph, Michael and Christopher. He was delighted to welcome Frank’s wife, daughter-in-law Candice, and their children, Charles and Emma Grace. He was also looking forward with great pleasure to the marriage of Joseph and Megan Leone.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to Metropolitan Ministries of Tampa, a resource for poor and homeless families in the Tampa metropolitan area -or the Treasure Island Police Association, 180 108th Ave, Treasure Island, FL 33706.
