Mr. Baker was a light here in Landmark. He was a pure joy to have known these twelve years that I have lived and worked in this community. I looked forward to his tight squeezes.
To his wife and family, my prayers are with you all.

Dear Mrs. Grace,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Baker's passing but I know he is in a better place. He was always so kind to everyone and he loved his nurses as much as we all love him! I will miss him asking me about my knee and school. He was a fine man. God speed Mr. Baker. Love you.
