James L. Baker

Dear Russell and Dolly and extended Baker Family:

It is with heartfelt sympathy and sorrow that Joann and I today learned of Jim's final departure to eternal life with our God and his lovely wife Dottie. We have such fond memories of both of them from our Sherwood days.

I had the privelege of serving on the Sherwood Club Board with Jim and personally can attest to the great contribution he and Russell and the family made to the community.

Life and love have eternal existence, according to a seven year study by Ben and Judy Guggenheim set forth in their book "Hello from Heaven!" I hope the extended Baker family gleans some comfort in knowing that Jim & Dottie's spirit will always be with us.

Requiesce in pace, Jim, a good and faithful servant! Love The Marquarts

Mr. Baker was a dear friend to the entire Burke family, and we thought of him as an Uncle as he looked after us long after our father - a fellow sailor - passed away nearly 55 years ago. His humor and kindness will be missed, but never forgotten.
Frances, Ted, Jamie, Chip and Sally Burke

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
