Today, September 8, 2009 at around 11:40, my father, Calvin James Baker, passed on. Passing from this life to the next was a thing of welcome for dad.
I have said to more than one person that I have had a great example in my father. He loved his wife with a fierce loyalty, his children and their offspring with passion, his friends with devotion and His God with delight!
I will miss him. In my elementary school days he was the one who played, in my teen years he was my support, in my early years of work and marriage he quietly advised, in my later years he became an equal for whom my respect was great.
I pray you will have those type of models and examples in your lives!
Hi Ron, I just heard of your Dad’s passing on today from cousins back east. Our thoughts are with you all. He was a very special person and a bright light in God’s kingdom. We were all blessed to have known him. Sincerely, your cousin, Gloria
