J. David Baker

Very elegant and talented man

Cousin David, you cannot know how much I miss you, along with all your New Orleans friends. With you gone on, who will trace my genealogy for me and tell me where I came from. God bless and keep your fierce, beautiful spirit.

Your cousin, Kenneth Holditch

My memories of my cousin David are almost all sweet and good ones. He was a consummate gentleman, a devoted friend, a rare human being.

David, Thank you for welcoming me to Tupelo
.and your friendship..

RIP my friend. I met David in 1976 along with Ross. Remember riding down the strip in Panama City In that classic Cadillac. Wonder memories will I ever have.

J.David, a true Southern Gentleman, that we will miss you so much. Your guidance, and leading the way for so many in this area. Our friendship for nearly 50 yrs, what a treasure to have, your stories on things that happened and lots of picture. Walks through the garden and being your neighbor for few years. Gods Peace my friend. Tom

Never thought I would feel so sad about loosing a 93 year old man. He was always the perfect gentleman with a wonderful smile in his voice. Directed David in a play andeven in rehearsals he came fdressedfor the part. He will be greatly issued by many people.

I worked with David for several years in the N.E. MS Historical & Genealogical Society. He and Ross would pull up on a summer day in our yard, top down on the green Caddie and Ross in his wide brimmed hat - both looking and speaking like characters from a Tennessee Williams Play. The both of them enriched our lives. RIP my friend.

So sorry to hear of David's passing. Prayers with you all.
