Hugh L. Baker

Dear Kathy, Richard and Kathy:

I was sorry to hear of Rev. Hugh's death. I know God will strengthen you during this time. All of you have been remembered by me over the years. Please take strength in knowing God will take Rev. Baker into heaven with open arms.

Love to all of you,

Ardith

Dearest Baker Family-You have always been in our hearts at First United Mehtodist here in Baton Rouge from the 1950's to this very day! Brother Hugh Baker has never been gone from our hearts and memories;even though he left us over 40 years ago to minister at Blackwater. I remember him,Dr. Dana Dawson and the Rev. Jim Ailor riding those horses down North Boulevard for the 125'th anniversary of our Church in 1959 to commemorate the circuit riders. I also remember Brother Hugh's powerful preaching of the Gospel and talking to our youth group. You have alwsys been in my prayers as Brother Hugh and Mrs. Baker got older. Richard has been a source of pride for all of us as is his Sister,along with their families. Many precious memories come flooding back not only with Brother Hugh's passing;but each time I pass the old parsonage on Terrace. I was even privileged to mow the yard for the last ministers to live there when I was a teenager. It will always be the Hugh Baker house to me...May God Bless and Keep You! Lots of Love,Cliff Yarbrough

Dear Richard

I am sorry for hearing of the loss of your Father. I know that he is a true disciple to Jesus Christ and gone home to be with his lord. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss

WE just got the word about Rev. Baker.

He has a special place in our hearts as he married us 23 years ago in Pineville, La.

God Bless Him !

Thoughts and Prayers are with you.

sincerely

Kathy & Richard, Praise to the King for your father's life and ministry. I remember him fondly as he pastored FUMC and Blackwater in Baton Rouge - and also of the two of you, and your Mom. Kathy, I've thought of you often over the years. Grace & Peace to all of you.

Dear Kathy, Richard, and Kathy;

I am so very sorry to learn of Hugh's death! Since I don't get the newspaper, I had no idea until today, when a friend called and told me. I know you all will miss him terribly. He was a wonderful, gifted man. Evening worship was never the same after he left FUMC. I will send you a proper note, but I wanted to sign his guest book. Sleep well, old friend. You have earned eternal rest in the arms of our Lord!

Richard,

My dad passed on the notice of your father's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Keith

What a wonderful man. How blessed we were to be married by him.
