Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to Nick's wife and family. I was not aware of his passing. We lost contact several years ago. He was a dear friend of many years in our youth and I have many fond memories of him. He had a great smile. He was always a very kind and a very positive person. R.I.P Nicky.

I will always remember our years of deer hunting and fishing and partying. My best friend ever and miss him so very much. Thank you for being my best friend and for you and Lynnie standing up with us when we got married. So glad we have so many great memories!

Lynn, I'm so very sorry to hear about Nick's passing! He was always so nice when he came to Knapp Meijer!

A better friend a man will never find, that's Nick Baker. I recall when Nick was in college he earned All-American Track & Field honors at the (NAAJC) National Championships held in 1961 near St Louis, MO. Bottoms Up! Denny Simmons

Nick was the best track star in GR for many years,he at Creston me at CCHS, I remember him gliding over the hurdles on to victory. We enjoyed eating at the Fat Boy, me and my girl friend at the time.you've run a good race, time to rest

Mr. Baker was a wonderful man. Always upbeat, always had a smile. I´ll miss seeing him! May his memory be eternal.

So sorry to hear, I worked for Nick at Fat Boy when I was 17 or 18. Thinking it had to only be a year or so after he got it. I was the weekend morning breakfast cook, cashier and server! lol Nick was awesome and great guy!

Nick was a good friend over many years. He will be dearly missed. Godspeed, old friend.

We extend our sincere sympathy to you, Lynn, and family as you grieve the loss of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. Nick was a great neighbor and we are nearby if you ever need us. May God graciously comfort and strengthen you with His perfect peace.. Our prayers are with you, Lynn. Tom & Jacki Vreeman
