I was so saddened to learn of the passing of "Art Baker." I visited him and "Buddy" many times in New York City and/or Richmond. They brought joy and happiness to everyone around them. My family in Richmond and I extend our deepest sympathies.

Praise Him with trumpets. Praise Him with harps and lyres. Praise Him with drums and dancing. Arthur showed his love of God through his great appreciation for the arts. He loved the classics, and I remember his home being filled with wonderful music on Saturdays. May he rest peacefully with God and those who have gone before him.
