Although it had been a while since I had seen Baker, he was one of the first people I met when I joined Northrop Services back in 1975. He was a very talented individual with his electronic knowledge. He was also a very witty and cheerful person and thoroughly enjoyed bringing cheers and smiles to peoples faces and that he did so well..He will be sorely Missed. My condolences go out to his wife and family. God Bless!!
