I was the South Basketball Manager from 76-78 and got to know Bake very well during those years and in the years since. Always loved running into him at South basketball and football games to catch up and share a laugh.

RIP Bake!

I loved Mr. Baker! I was at South High School from 1984-1988 and was lucky enough to pitch softball. Mr. Baker gave me my nickname of "Blade". I have remembered him fondly all of these years. God bless him and his family. Robbin "Blade" Smith
