Raymond "Mike" Eugene Baker

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We met Mike and Carol in 1993 after moving into the neighborhood. Our youngest daughters became fast friends, as did we. The thing I will remember about Mike is that he always had a smile on his face. He was a genuinely happy man. And it was contagious. There became a group of us who saw our kids through all the grades, including college. We all spent many a Friday or Saturday night on each others decks and celebrated many holidays together. Mike will be greatly missed and very lovingly...

To one of my favorite people in the "Pepsi Family". We will miss you and your insights. Gods speed.

Mike was a friend, a colleague, and a leader amongst all of his fellow Pepsi Cola Bottlers throughout his career leading Pepsi Cola Bottling of Brookfield. As a founding member and Director of the Independent Bottlers Association, Mike played an influential role and will always be remembered as a valued partner for all of his peers. On behalf of all the members of the IBA, we send our condolences and wish peace and loving memories for the Baker family.

If you count both times I worked there it has been 48 years total. Mike was a very good and very honest man to work for. He is really going to be missed. It has been a pleasure working for you. Rest in peace.
