Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts have been with your family and want you to know that a donation was made to the Evans Scholar program in Buddy's name from Sam. The love of golf was a true bond with Sam and Buddy. We know what a positive influence Buddy had with Sam in the short time they spent together and it is something he will never forget....

Our sympathies to the Baker family. Buddy/Dr. Baker was a great friend of our family and will be missed. I will always remember him with his upbeat outlook and his love for golf at Westmoor. Also my mother, June, expresses her sympathy as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with Baker family. I know how much Mat loved his G Pa.

My sympathy to the family and friends of Dr. Baker. I knew "Buddy" from 1941 on as his neighbor in Wauwatosa. Four years his junior, Bud taught me how to play golf. A highlight of my youth, when 16 Bud and I played the front nine at Westmore and tied at 38 each. I caddied for him in the State Amateur tournament at Bluemound one year.

I was Buddy's neighbor in Wauwatosa, four years his junior. He taught me to golf and I went on to play in college as well. One of my greatest memories is when at age 16, we played the front nine at Westmore CC and tied, 38 apiece. Buddy, most memorable, as one of the friendliest guys ever and with a spectacular sense of humor. Everybody liked (loved) Buddy.

We sure had great "family" trips !!

Oh Dr. Baker; I've never forgotten you. Thank you for helping me at I time when I thought I didn't need help. God bless you always.

Dr. Stephen Baker and family,
Your dad was an excellent and kind Doctor. He looked forward to his retirement and golfing. But when my own story was in the newspaper several years later, he wrote me a beautiful letter of how he too wanted to always reach out to people in need.
Although I cannot be with you on Saturday, my prayers will be with all your family.
