Virgil H. "Skip" Baker Jr.

BOB, MY HEART GO OUT TO YOU, AS I READ THIS TRIBUTE, I WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS, HOW VERY SPECIAL YOUR DAD WAS. I MISS TALKING TO YOU AND MISS OUR FRIENDSHIP, KEEP IN TOUCH. THINK OF YOU OFTEN, PEGGY

Dear Jimmy, Bobby and Nancy,
You all, just like myself are so lucky to have grown up with a Dad like ours! Your Dad was kindhearted, gentle, and a real hard worker. Although I was the youngest of the bunch, I do remember the fun times with both of our families. In the summer it was the picnics...with clams? I can still remember going to your house over the holidays and eating cookies!
It certainly is especially hard for your Dad's friends...I keep telling my Mom, it is the circle of...

Skip will be missed by all that knew him. Great co-worker, and enjoyed bowling and golfing with him.

"skip" was special...my husband knew him as a fellow musician and considered him a good friend. personally, I only knew his wonderful smile but, there again, the word 'special' is appropriate. mee (wife of robert eichlin)

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Bob & Family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Father Virgil. As you know Bob, I knew him from coming into the little Palmer club when I was tending bar there some years ago. Virgil was a great person who I connected with from the very day I met him. He was always respected and was very well liked. I wish I could have known him better and longer than I did. God bless this family and take comfort in knowing that Virgil is now in peace.

Nancy, Jimmy, and Bobby,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. He was a great man who had a positive impact on all who knew him, especially me. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I first met Skip in 1970, when my dad took me to band practice at the old Brown, and Lynch in downtown Easton. I was just a little 12 year old kid learning how to play drums, and Mac McBride, Oakie Reeves, and Skip, taught me so much! I've been friends with him, and his family ever since. Nancy, Jimmy, and Bobby my hart-felt sympathy to all of you. Ron Schaffer
