I knew COL(R) Baker only through his obituary. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and family who must surely be mourning his loss. But the summary of his many accomplishments and the undoubted love of his wife and their children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, make me want to proclaim, "What an amazing life!"

Jean, Barney, and family:
Diane and I were saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a great man who lived a great life. We enjoyed working for John and Jean for more than 4 years. I can still picture John asking me who sang a certain song. And he was such a fan of "...swing and sway with Sammy Kaye...". He will be missed.
Our condolences go out to all of the family.
