Not sure what to say?

I miss you everyday Dr. Baker. No one understood me like you did. You were a great Doctor and I miss you dearly.

My condolences to the family of Dr. Baker. What a loss to the world. As many Doctors do, Dr. Baker saved my life. As only a few people accomplish, Dr. Baker changed my life. I'd imagine his gift to humanity lives on in many like myself.

I knew and loved Bobby at Senn HS and played flute in band and orchestra, as well as playing in the woodwind quintet mentioned here by Janet, our oboist, I only saw Bob in person at reunions but we had a wonderful texting relationship and shared great musical and other fun memories. I knew he was being treated but did not know his cancer had become that serious. I still think of things I want to tell him. RIP dear friend!

Godspeed, Bobby. Thank you for your kindness.

Missing you Uncle Bobby! I think of you often. Thank you for sharing your gift and love of music with us!

I often come back and read all these beautiful words about Dr.Baker. I haven't found another Psychiatrist I don't thank I want to I received my medical records the many notes he took during our sessions he was just different very helpful loved his family and jazz . I'm not doing so good Doc but I often ask for guidance and just remember some coping skills you taught me. I will never find another Psychiatrist that really put his heart into his work. I thank about Rhonda who would always call...

It's been 2 years since Bobby passed away.I decided to look at the condolences. I hadn't seen any of these. It was so wonderful to hear people talk about what a kind Dr he was and that he felt like a friend. My son and I still can't believe he's not here. We hear him and feel him everywhere. He was so kind and generous to us that nothing will ever fill that void. Too be loved by him was truly a gift, one that we will live with the rest of our lives. We will love you for eternity. Your loving...

I worked with Dr. Baker for almost 30 years. Our paths split, and I just learned of his passing today. I am just devastated. He was so good to me. Such a good person to talk to. I´ll always miss him.

I still can´t believe that Dr. Baker has been gone 2 years. I still have not found another psychiatrist. I would love to hear what he would say about our world right now. Miss you Dr. Rest In Peace and may your memory always be a blessing to all that knew you.
