Dear Elaine and kids, Our love and condolences as you celebrate a great partner and dad. We are sad to learn of Dick´s passing and so blessed to have great years and activities together. He walked the walk: inspiring, teaching, parenting and with Elaine quietly exemplified a life well lived!! He wrote the book on quality living, sincere faith, and inspiration. A kingpin on our Root Cellar basketball team for years!! He made a difference in many lives and we will miss him every time we say...

Dick Baker possessed a deep well of compassion and acceptance. He shared this with so many students, parents, colleagues and friends throughout his life and career. His kindness and smile were gift to our world. Thank you "Mr. Baker".

I can still hear Dick sing: If you think you can, If you think you can't, Your absolutely right! Believing you can do it, Is more than half the fight. Sympathy to Elaine and the family.

Dick was the best principal ever. He always had that twinkle in his eye. I hope you & Clay are fishing up there. He love to come fly fishing & visit . I was lucky to teach with him at the old Johnson & open the new Johnson

Dick will be missed. He touched so many lives. His smile was special to everyone , he met. Rest in Peace, Dick
