David Remember Baker

Dearest Lois, The best photos of David are with his hats. I can't believe that it has been a year since his passing. All my best wishes as the country opens up and life takes you on more exciting journeys. Love, Phyllis

I was so sad to hear of David’s passing. He was a brilliant, kind and thoughtful man. I was entertained by his excellent storytelling at many dinners with David and my parents, Jim and Patsy Fail, who were long time friends of his. He was a fine example of a life well lived.

To a young boy growing up in Birmingham, AL, Aunt Myra and Uncle David 'were' New York. The concerts, the plays, the art exhibits, the bow ties....all things I hold dear today because of their hospitality and generosity in the 70s and 80s.

Myra's eventual accident was a tragedy, and her limited life unfair. But David persevered and was blessed to have Lois in his life. The new pair conquered one adventure after another, as I watched in admiration.

I will miss Uncle David.

My deep condolences to the Baker family. Remember Baker of Arlington, VT, a founder of the Green Mountain Boys would have been so proud of all that his family has accomplished, both in name and spirit. His namesake was a powerful force in defining the revolutionary war and his legacy continues to this day.

David had a brilliant mind, was an exceptional lawyer, and was a great friend. That combination is hard to beat.

David was a wonderful person with a fountain of knowledge. He was a welcome addition to our firm, Kayser & Redfern, and was always ready with advice along with a wonderful story. I looked forward to his visits when he returned to New York and to our annual Christmas luncheons. David was fortunate and truly blessed to have such a loving and caring partner as Lois. David is now at peace. My warmest sympathies and HUGS of comfort to you, Lois. Stay Safe and Take Care -- until we...

My father, Asa Rountree, was very close friends with David. They attended The Harvard Law School together. It was David, and a few others that convinced my father to move to NYC and practice the law. That he did. We moved from Birmingham to NYC when I was 7. During my childhood, I got to know David and Myra as one of my parents best friends. For some reason he was known to me as the "Ogre" and Myra the "Ogress"
It has been an ongoing joke for 60 years or so.
I remember David...
