Not sure what to say?

It just won't be the same without Mr Baker. When I was a child sitting behind him and his family in church, he seemed to be the strongest man I had ever seen. And as the years passed, he still seemed so very strong -- both physically and spiritually. What a great man. We are better for having him in our lives. He set the highest of standards in every area of life and we will miss him greatly.

Dear Mrs. Baker, Jeannette, Bess, Ann, and Rex,
Mr. Baker and the entire Baker family were such an integral part of ROBC, which in turn was such a part of my growing up, that those happy childhood memories are intertwined and still make me smile. Like Doug, I cried when Jenny told me. I'm so sorry for you and for all of us who are left behind, but I'm glad for Mr. Baker, and for all those who are with him and able to share God's loving company.

I grew up always knowing who Mr. Baker was and what he stood for. He was superior to me in all aspects of his life, but he never made me feel that way. He was a man of principle, a man of his word, a man of God.
When I heard that Mr. Baker had passed on, I smiled and wiped away a tear. A tear because I will miss the man that meant so much to me, a smile because I know he will be welcomed into Heaven as God's servant with whom He is well pleased.
I love Pete Baker.

Bess; My thoughts are with you,Your dad led a great life, which you carry as a wondeful memory.You are in my prayers, love Bernabe Somoza

I worked for Southwestern Savings and Rex Baker. He was an outstanding individual, professional businessman and person who lived his love of his Lord. I remember, fondly, his visits to our branch office and the Wednesday staff devotionals at the home office. Rex Baker proved to all there is success in being a Christian business owner. My thoughts and prayers are with the Baker family at this time.

Dear Baker family, I am thinking of all of you today as you meet to say your final goodbye to Rex. All members of the Heard family have such wonderful, happy memories of times spent with you. My God strengthen you as you continue on without Rex.

Dear Bess and Ann,
What a great man and father! He will be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jeanette: We were saddened by the news of Pete's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Shirley and Dick
