Not sure what to say?

I often think of your father.I truly feel honored to have known him. I'll never forget the "Mr. Baugh" I came to know while he lived at Jefferson Pointe. I was the fortunate one who helped him when he came in to inquire about an apartment. I knew right away he was someone special, just his presence, his demeanor. The moment he told me he was a Tuskegee Airman, I almost wanted to faint; the honor of having a living legend right here in front of me was more than I could have expected.

Howard made a great impact on the students of Bailey Bridge Middle School!

My Condolences to the Baugh Family (My Family)
May you know that God blesssed our family with an angel. I had the opportunity to speak with Uncle Howard two months ago. With his kind voice and wonderful words of wisdom, his concern was "how is your health"? What an honor to have had such a legend in our family. May God Bless and keep all of you.

My prayers are with you during your bereavement.

I met Mr. Baugh for the first at the Chesterfield Air Show last year. I'm very proud of the photo I took of him with my twin eight year old boys. They will be taking the photo and a report on him to school for Black History Month this year. It only took a couple of minutes speaking with him to see what a distinguished man he was even beyond his wartime achievements.Very glad to have had the honor. My prayers are with the faimily.

With Love and Condolence to the Baugh Family.

I met Lt. Col. Baugh just once at a Wagner High School reunion in Portland, Oregon. I spoke to him for just a few minutes. To this day and for the rest of my life I will tell people of the indelible impression he left on me. The Lt. Col. was a true officer and a gentleman. Though a warrior in the skies his behavior exuded chivalry, implacable manners, and a genuine passion for life. God Bless, God Speed, and thank you, Lt. Col. Howard L. Baugh.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
