My introduction to the strong, friendly giant of a man who Willie Baker was was at a church picnic. We were visiting. He and Charlotte welcomed us to their table. It was a friendship that remained until his last days. I already miss his smile, twinkling eyes, and gentle hug. God's peace to all of you.
