Edward H. Baker

Jane, Greg and I think of you and Ed and all the memories. We love you very much and miss Ed.

Dear Jane,
Please accept these condolences from one of the many hundreds of engineering students that had the privilege of taking a class from Prof. Baker. There were (and are) a lot of great professors at Cal Poly but for me, Prof. Baker was unique in how he continually motivated the students who excelled and, at the very same time, reached out to the students who struggled. Everyone was on their toes in his class. No one dozed. I wish I could have told Prof. Baker how much fun and...

I am a fraternity brother of Ed's from Northwestern University. He was one of the brightest and most decent persons I have ever met. He would study for finals by flipping through the test books saying "I know that, that and that, close the books and get top grades. He was soft spoken, but focused. I loved playing tennis with him.

Dear Jane,

Ed and I were fraternity brothers and room mates at Northwestern. He was a good friend then. I tried several times over the years to locate him but always looked in the wrong places. I do not know why I was moved to search for him today. Perhaps too much time has passed for you to look at the Guest Book again, but please know that you have my deepest sympathy for your loss. Ed made a lasting impression on many people. Mike Barbour

Ed, I hope where you're fishing now that you get a bite on every cast. Mike

Hi Jane, our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time. I was sorry to hear of Ed's passing when we got home.

He was very lucky to have you in his life. I will always remember the time Ed and I spent working together at Cal Poly and his calm peaceful approach to life. He will always be remembered as an outstanding professor and of course a world class fisherman.

God speed, dear Ed!
Linda and Brent

Hi Jane, I wish i could have met you and ed earlier in life and maybe picked up a few of ed's fishing techniques.
thinking of you,love rodger m

Dear Jane: What a loss! Ed was a mentor to me when I came to the M.E. department in 1987. He was so generous (and I took up a lot of his time). He always had something funny to say. Told me he'd bet a student he could beat him in a bike race to Morro Bay. Then he borrowed the HPV so he'd be assured of trouncing the student. My sympathy to you and his family.
