Kathy, Kristin and Brooke- Mr. Baker will truly be missed. I will never forget playing afterschool at your house in CT and the player piano. I remember Brooke telling me her dad was a model and showing me his kodak pictures. Wow! Was I impressed! He was always there cheering us on at our soccer games for both the Strikers and SHS. He always had a smile for everyone and was just plain "nice". Rare indeed. We were all truly blessed to know him.

Mr. Baker (the most handsome dad around) lived through lots of soccer, chex mix and teenage renditions of Thriller. It is wonderful that you are so close as a family to get through this difficult time. He loved life and was so loved by you all. Thinking of you. Jen Plansky McKinley

Cathy, Kristen, and Brooke, we are all thinking of you so much. I have such fond memories of Kim and all of our families being together through the years. Kim always had a sweet smile, kind word, or even a joke to share. He was always so genuinely nice to my children and his adorable grandchildren. Kim will be sorely missed. He truly was a family man who loved his wife and girls. That was always so clear to all of us. We love you all.
Love, Paige and family

I am truly sorry for your loss but I am also feeling the great pride Kim must have felt about the incredible legacy he has left behind :) I will always remember sitting in the back seat of Kim's car, with Kristen, on the way to soccer games, listening to Kim and Cathy sing word for word all the songs on the "oldie's" station!

The first thing you always saw with Kim was that bright smile. He loved to embrace life and all it had provided. He saw the best in people and enjoyed our golf together. I will miss him and our talks. Rest well my friend.

Dear Mrs. Baker, Kristen, Brooke, and families - our hearts are with you! Mr. Baker was such a fun-loving, youthful, and kind person, who clearly loved his family to pieces and vice versa. We will miss him. Our prayers are with you.
