John H. Baker

Cheers to you my friend. Fondest memories.

You were thought about yesterday and always, friend. This town is not the same without you...

John was a gentle giant.

I was the Supervisor of Marine Facilities with the City of Fort Lauderdale for 25 years before I retired in 2010 and my office is located next to the Downtowner Saloon. I also was the liaison to the City's Marine Advisory Board and John was a member.

Therefore, I saw a lot of John even when he was a teenager. He always used to say he was going to own the Downtoner Saloon (formerly Nathaniel's) because he came in with his parents quite...

Geez, I'm sorry this is so late. I just found out. John and I talked pretty much every year close to the Yacht show where we met 3 years ago. He had befriended my son and I on our shuttle there. I told him I was considering Yacht Sales. He was so nice. We talked about a lot. His loss was fresh with his son Johnny. Always extended hand of friendship and kindness towards my son and I. All I can do is hope and pray he is at peace and with his son. Prayers and Blessings to everyone!!!

So sad to hear of Johns passing. He was always kind to my husband and I, always smiling. Loved seeing him around.

A great light has dimmed in the hearts of all who knew John. John, your laughter, warm heart and kindness will never be forgotten. May the fondest memories comfort your family and all of your friends in this time of sorrow. Much love ...

so sorry to hear about johns passing a truly great guy.

Peace be with you now my friend! Great Father and Great Friend. I'll see you on the other side Bud!!

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2
