Not sure what to say?

To the Baxter family: Vince and I are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Baxter was the most gracious person we ever met. I loved working with him on the Pennsbury Parents Football field lights project and all the fundraising events. He will be missed by many! We are also deeply sorry that we could not attend his services. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

I remember Uncle Dick as "Bigger than Life". He was always there for the games and sporting events to support the kids.I'm so sorry for your loss.Love, Phyllis

Mr. Baxter hooked me up with a pair of wrestling shoes. I wore them when I won a District Title. He was big, tough, and very kind. I'll miss his "whistle" echoing through Birch Valley and North Park.

Mr.Baxter will always have a special place in our hearts & memories.We send much love & sympathy to his Family at this time..Michael & Susan Papirio

Worked with Mr.Baxter many years ago, he was truly an inspiration to all who knew him.

He truly was bigger than life. I am so Blessed to have had both Mom and Dad as my parents. They loved each dearly and us children twice as much. It's amazing during their marriage what they accomplished. I am and always will be a proud, loving, devoted and caring daughter. Now Daddy you are with Mom, Curtis, Jamie Lynn and all our other loved ones who have walked their path here on earth and now have rose to Paradise. Glory be to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen. Until we meet...

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
