Condolences to the Baker family. Alan will be fondly remembered by myself as an appearing attorney on my docket at the St. Louis County Courts back in 2009 when I began my career here. I enjoyed his conversations and his commitment to his profession through the years. Although he has not practiced for years here, I will always think of him fondly and the stories he told. I was always "doll" to him at the courts, and I never minded this term of endearment from a most wonderful gentleman such as he. Rest in peace Alan.

Alan was a fine lawyer and a good man!
My day was always better if it included running into Alan at the Courthouse.

With Boozey Baker you needed to go deep.
Did he look like an athlete?- well he was.
Did he carry himself as a hot shot lawyer?- well he was.
Did he appear to be someone who saw combat in war?- well he did
Kind, Hilarious, brave.
A huge loss
