Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to learn of Bill's death when I returned to work on January 2nd. Bill was a tremendous asset to Newport News Shipbuilding and will continue to be missed for many years to come. He was a true professional who was always willing to help those of us who did not possess his same talents and abilities. My deepest condolences to his family.

Bill Baker was a Godly man who loved God, his family, and his church with all his heart. He was a true Christian and will always be in the hearts of the Members of First Baptist Church of Newport News. He will be missed, but we know that we will waiting for us all in Heaven. We continue to pray for his family in their time of sorrow.

I didn't know Bill very well; but I did know that he loved the Lord. He was always at church and saw that his daughter was there too. He was a great deacon in the church. He will be sorely missed by all.

My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. May the Lord give them the strength to help them with their loss.

We are not sure whether we have ever met Bill, but if he was half the person that his mother is and his father was he must have been a fine person. Our hearts ache for the loss that his mother and his family are experiencing at this time.

I knew Bill from work. He was a good man, an outstanding teacher, and a good friend. He will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Rube & I knew Bill as a Christian man going to our church. He will be sorley missed by all that knew him. Our condolences go out to all his family members & love ones. Bill loved them all, but most of all he loved Jesus.
