In Loving Memory
Dear Susann and Family, I was very saddened to hear of Dick's passing. the times that I had contact with him he was always pleasant, cheerful, and full of life. He was much younger than his years. My daughter and her husband only met him at one work party and still talk about the "cool guy, who liked horror movies" I'm glad you have family around for love and support, our hearts and thoughts are with you all. Love Pam Groves and Family

You guys know how I felt about Baker. I truly feel like I have lost a family member. He was one of the gentlest, most loving people I have ever met. He was always smiling and joking any time I saw him. I will never forget the heart to hearts that he and I had. We always found it too easy to share our thoughts and values on any subject without fear of being judged or ridiculed. I miss the big lug and always will.

Dear Baker family, We were very saddened to hear of Richard's death. He often came into the Bingham Creek Library and greeted all who were there with his friendly smile . His bubbly personality engaged all who he visited with. We were not his family though he made all he came in contact with feel you were. We will miss him. Bingham Creek Library staff
