Mr. Baker was more than a counselor to so many at KM. He was a life coach helping thousands to to find their own path and inspire us to pursue our dreams. Thank you for inspiring me.

RIP Bob. Will always remember the good times back in the day when we'd line up at a stop light in our Dad's cars and come off the line tires blazing.
