Mr. Baker was so kind to everyone. Our condolences to all family members. We appreciated his generosity giving out produce free to everyone. We were neighbors off Valley on Eton Rd.

Ron was a dear lifelong friend & colleague. He was well respected, trusted and honest. He grew the best tomatoes & claimed he never watered them lol. Our family will certainly miss him & his voice of reason & friendship. We share in your sadness & thankful that he touched our lives in such meaningful ways.
Love, Greg & Lynn Baer & family.

In told shock over this. Ron and Judy were such a beautiful couple and we loved playing golf with them on Wednesday's and Fridays back in the day with Big Daddy's Bunch at Pine Creek. Ron would bring us homegrown tomatoes in the summer. He and Judy always played on the same team and it was so much fun watching Judy out play Ron a lot. !!!!!!!! He would just get so mad !!!
lol Ron was a good friend, golf buddy and he'll be missed. I know he and & Judy are now reunited in Heaven and playing golf together once again. They were an awesome couple and we'll miss them so much !!!!!!!! Love You Both.
