My Dad was the shining light of our family.
Many years have passed but his memory lives on in each of us who loved him for his kind, forgiving nature.
He was my cheerleader and I miss him every day.

Dzaidzi will be missed by everyone he touched thru life. He had many great~grandchildren but AlexisAnne made his eyes sparkle with a special joy. He will be missed very much. Our angel with sparkly golden wings :-)

Stan Baker was not only an exemplary grandfather, but a kind, decent man who always had a smile; a person who genuinely enjoyed life and made others feel happy to be alive too.



He lived long and saw much, laughing often. May we learn from his example.

The very best Father and friend. I will miss his conversation and his strength. He meant the world to me and all that he taught me will always make me proud to continue my work in his memory.
