It brings tears to my eyes that a true friend and a brother has past on, Ray and Harry had both snatched a piece of my heart and and I had did the same of theirs. I will forever miss you both and think of you, we had many great moments together and you both had taught me many things...love you and may God Bless you all

Ray and Harry were true friends of mine, we had many great times together in which we all learned something. They had both taught many things but the one thing that I had learned from both of them is a true friendship and brotherhood. Although I had met them toward the end, I will always remember the Baker Boy's. Love You Both My Brothers. Franklin E. Bulley

Barb, Walt and Family: I was shocked to hear about Ray's passing, so close you your mom and Harry. I know this isn't an easy thing to get through, but have peace knowing they are all together now, with your dad, laughing and smiling -- oh that Baker Smile!! Have peace in your hearts. You have my sympathy and my prayers.

Barb, Walt, and families.
I am truly shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Ray. Ray was a great person to have as my family for 20 years. I can remember hearing him say, more than once, that life was short so we should enjoy it while we can. And we did with him leading the way.
To lose Harry, your Mom and now Ray so close together is heartbreaking I'm sure. May God comfort you and bless you and your family. May there be some comfort for you all knowing that he is in heaven watching over those who loved him and whom he loved and in heaven with the rest of his family from McKinley Ave.
My deepest sympathy.

Barbara and family, I am sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I knew Ray and Harry when we were young at First Presbyterian Church and later at UE. After we moved to Clayton they stopped together when they were at your grandmothers cottage. I think them often. They were both a lot of fun.
