What a man Eddie Baeten was. You influenced my life in such a positive way. I'm so grateful to have known you as my principal and my coach. Thank you so much for all you did for me. You and Winnie were wonderful people and will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Baeten family.

Coach Baeten will be remembered by many as a coach, a teacher, a mentor and all around 'great' person, and that is just from his students and players. I had attended school earlier in his career (grad of '59) so can not speak to all of the hats he wore, but so appreciative of the 'education' which did not stop with the three R's!

So sorry for your loss. Mr. Baeten was a great principal and a great person. Can still see him walking down the halls at Oakfield High and he would always smile and greet you. He was one of the good guys!
