This man was one of my closest mentors. He and his wife Peggy became a second set of parents to me. He and his wife are like grandparents to my children.
I most enjoyed our time during lunches at North Union. I would leave the cafeteria (sneak away!) to sit in Baker's classroom and eat with him. He always had a sandwich, a coke in a bottle, and an apple. I adored that man, his guidance, and his believe in me when I never believed in myself.
It has taken me awhile to write this due to emotions. However, tomorrow is a special day for Roger and Peggy and they are deeply on my mind. I am a better person for knowing Baker.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Mr. Baker was one of my favorite teachers in the 70's. Accounting,shorthand and typing.I had moved from the area and moved back and had to attend parent teacher conference for my son in the 90's, he kept telling me there was one teacher I just would not like! What a surprise to walk in and see Mr. Baker,I then knew it was my son misbehaving. He was always very fair and tried hard for the students. May he RIP.

Mr. Baker was one of my favorite teachers at NUHS. He was always very patient and kind, which was not easy on certain days when dealing with a room full of rowdy teenagers! I learned a lot from him. My oldest son Kyle also had Mr. Baker as a teacher and was sad to hear of his passing, said that he was awesome and would be missed. Our prayers go out to Mrs. Baker.
