Not sure what to say?

John was a devoted alumnus of St. Ignatius HS and John Carroll University, on whose Board he served many years. He wore his heart on his sleeve where these two Jesuit schools were concerned. I counted John as a friend and a good man. May he rest in peace and prepare the way for the rest of us.

My brother spent time at UH and the staff was most compassionate. Hearing that John volunteered there right up until he was admitted is a truly noteworthy example of kindness and generosity.

It's at difficult times like this that friendship and concern are most appreciated. Proverbs 18:24

May you find consolation in the loving words of Psalm 63:8 where we're told God's right hand will keep fast hold on us.

To Peggy and family, my sincere deepest sympathy for the lost of your loved one. I too will miss my dear friend John I had the pleasure of meeting and working with such a kind thoughtful unselfish man I am known as John would call me "The Boss" . Always willing to help everyone ,loved his family(grandchildren)

My deepest sympathy and prayers to your family. I always enjoyed listening to John as he spoke proudly of his children! I remember him coming to St Ann's School for parent conferences for Beth. He knew I only had great things to say about her and he waited for me to enumerate them-which I did.
Special prayers,

Baker family,Sorry for your loss. Remember the happy times .

Volunteering with John was an honor. He was a very special person and I will miss him. Why is it that we don't say these things to people like John when they are here? May God comfort John's soul.

What a power of example John Baker has been to me and countless others. He was so kind and thoughtful, in the rooms, and out of them.

John was such a powerful example, spoke highly of his wonderful family, and was an overall good man. I had the pleasure of knowing him the last 5 years through his volunteer work at the Cleveland Clinic. My prayers and condolences go out to his family through this difficult time. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Jay, Casey and the Baker Family,
Please accept our condolences. Even though we never personally met your dad Jay, your family stories tell us he was a wonderful, loving father. May God bless all of you at this difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss.
