Bill J. Baker

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the staff and volunteers of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, we would like to extend our deepest condolences for your loss. Please know the passing of your loved one is felt by all those who honor the Greatest Generation and their sacrifices.

We were privileged to know Bill Baker and Charlene probably at least sixty years. They were always warm, welcoming and fun to be with. I know this is about Bill but he and Charlene were such a couple it is hard to separate my thoughts. When I think of Bill I see his big, warm smile, hear his beautiful voice, of course his beloved Colonial CC and golf. There is one more thing I can´t forget-he taught me to appreciate chips and salsa with Tex-Mex food at El Fenix. Our last meeting on this...

I was honored to know Bill and Charlene during my tenure with Mass Mutual from 2002 to present day, Bill stood larger than life, a true professional until the end. His stories, his singing, his uncanny resemblance to my grandfather, his love of clients and "paper" will always bring a smile to my face when I remember him. He was one of a kind. Charlene too, I still have one of her paintings. Talent did not fall short in this family. Thank you for your legacy!
