My condolences to the family. I currently live in Centerville, but I grew up in Tipton & lived at 225 second st. in the 1970s & 80s. I believe I knew of Mr. Baker's father.

When I met Bob and Connie they were so inviting and welcomed me in like their own. I remember going to their house just about every Thanksgiving and Christmas for dinner. I would always bring homemade pecan and pumpkin pie. When I came in the door Connie would yell SABRINNA!!! and Bob would tell me to have a seat. He would always ask me about the Real Estate market and what my thoughts were. He was always interested in what you were doing and would give his input on the subject at hand. I always smiled inside when I was talking to him... he was so intelligent and full of knowledge.
I know he didn't think he did much for our country by serving what little time he did in the Army, but I am grateful for his service.
I am proud and honored to have known both Bob and Connie. They were great people.
Love,
Sabrinna
