Joseph Baxter Sr.

1971...Pop had this white Volkswagon van that had a mini-kitchen. He would load us up in the VW and stop at the Colonel and get a bucket of chicken, some sides and sodas...and we would go down to the airport, open up the side door...pull out the table and grub looking at the planes take off.
Yeah, that was cool.

To the Baxter family, I too understand what it is like to loose a father and I understand the pain, but one thing we know for sure he doesn't have to suffer the cares and worries of this world. He has gone to see a better place. Please continue to keep his memory alive in each one of you who knew him. I guarantee you he will forever live on. I love each and everyone of you even being all the way down here. And may prayers are with you always.

The one true tool that my dad gave me for my tour in this thing called life was a strong work ethic. He was always working to provide for what was his...so it seemed. H e woke me up at 4:30 in June of'71 and took me to a garage where the daily paper was being routed out. I've been working ever since. If the dads of today realize that their children have to be productive, they will see to it that their children are doing something...something positive and productive,

Dad:

It is 2:13 a.m. Monday March 13, 2006 and i am sitting here just thinking, not really about much but one thing plays in my mind is that i am actually writing to you and knowing that before you wouldn't even had a chance to read it, but it's probably a computer where you are so i feel like i am talking to you right now. Boy this is crazy, yo, its so unreal to think that you are actually gone for right now, yeah only for right now cause i too know that one day i will see you...

To My Dad:

To me it's still not quite clear, that you my DAD are no longer here:
Cause still I wait for the phone to ring, to hear you voice saying something;
You'd say did you see that crap on Y&R, and before you'd hang up we'd say talk to you tomorrow;
But the phone won't ring ever again, not only did I lose my DAD, I lost my friend;
Only we know what we talked about, because to the world we did not shout;
I love you DAD I'll also say, that in...

To the Baxter Family:
May God Bless you all with Love, Peace, and Comfort.

On Behalf of The Entire Baxter Family (and God knows there are lots of us): We would like to thank each and every one of you for the the sincere condolences and the warm sentiments (not to mention the many donations) which were sent our way during our time of sorrow and remembrance.

Needless to say, my Pops was a King amongst Kings; a true Man's Man, and he will sorely be missed; however, Pops' legacy shall forever live on as my siblings and I gladly grab the baton and forge...

Pops >< we love you! HE made you and through you, HE also made us. You will never be forgotten and shall forever live in us and through us. Thank you for everything; keep the lamp light on ... and we'll see you in the sky! Peace Be Unto You!
