I remember you told me, I'm not suppose to be here (Iraq) you never said why and I never asked. Your spirit told me so much about who you were, a godly man. We worshiped together, we went on our R&R to Qatar together, and we would talk late at night about the word. God needed you at his side more than we needed you here. Rest In Peace my friend.

my prayers go out to the Baker family, and to fire station 34. Eng Baker was a great firefighter whom i am grateful to have known and ride with him the four years i did at fire station 34, as an explorer. He was also a great man of God, and knew his bible.

To the family of Bishop Baker:
I pray God's continued strength and comfort during your time of bereavement. Remember, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. He fought a good fight, he kept the faith, and he finished his course, in this may you have comfort. God bless, comfort, and keep you in perfect peace.
