Always thought of him as"Mr Groesbeck." Growing up, our backyard joined his backyard. When I was about 10 years old we saw smoke building up in the basement. Mom called the fire department. She hung up the phone and immediately we heard a knock on the back door and it was Dick Baker wearing his helmet! He ran through our backyard to get to our house immediately. Mr. Baker was always cordial and funny. My brother and I called him Mr. Groesbeck because he´d always be at community functions. Mr. Baker was a great man. My condolences to Scott, David, Steve and Michael.
