Richard A. Baker

My sincere condolences. I come to this point at a very late period since Dick's passing. It's been a few years and since loosing my wife, Karen, a year and a half ago, I've come to understand the emotions associated with such an event. I hope time has eased the pain associated with the loss. I hope Debra is well. My recent, monthly drives past the funeral home where Dick's ceremony was held brought me to post this message.

Dick was introduced to me in the 1970s, when he was dating Debra. We all became instant friends as Dick and my future husband, Henry O, were partners in creativity, and shared an appreciation for soulful music, fast cars, stiff drinks, and fun times. We spent many nights clinking glasses at Hank's on Sixth, attended each other's weddings, and supported political and community-based events.
Dick was the most awesome photographer and advertising icon in Milwaukee's history during the 1980s...

My condolences for your loss. May the words at Isaiah 35:5,6 give you comfort and peace.

My sincere condolences. May the God of comfort who comforts us when we mourn comfort the family.
