Ben my friend,
I was so sad to hear about the passing of your dad. My prayers are with you and my heart goes out to you at this difficult time. I hope knowing that your dad is now with your mom and God gives you some peace. I can't be at the service but know I will be with you in spirit! Hang in there tough buddy. I'm ready to hear, "Good morning Sunshine!"

No written word can express the legend Orlie was to all.  We listened to him for weather patterns, farming hints, local history....and enjoyed every second of what he had to say.  He truly was a gentleman and his family is a great reflection of who he is and was.  We are blessed with our memories.

You have my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mr Baker. Years ago, he had a radio program on WPRE and when Orlie spoke, us kids were quiet so my dad could listen to what Orlie had to say. It didn't matter whether we were in the barn doing chores or in the house, when that program came on, dad turned the radio up...even the cows knew to keep quiet. Also years ago, CR used to be our substitute milk hauler. May he rest in peace as his work on Earth is now done.

Our deepest sympathy to the Baker family. Orlie will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I have many memories of him in our little Methodist Church in Seneca as a strong Christian man, who always had a smile and warm hello. We have lost a wonderful friend, but our memories of him will live on and make us smile always.

Janet and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Orlie's passing.  He was part of every morning as we were growing up, and it was only later that we met you.  You have our deepest sympathies during this difficult time.  Your "old" friends, Tim and Cindy

Dear Baker Family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Some of my best memories of growing up include the Bakers being 'down the road'. Your mom and dad were the sweetest people on earth, and now the sweetest couple in heaven I am sure.  The 'on air' goodbye your dad made when my dad passed is one of the most comforting things I hold on to. Love and sympathy, Cindy

We will treasure our time with him and Anne at the Farmer's market.  He always called me the little white girl and had names for my girls. We also remember waiting by the radio for him to come on.  Our deepest sympathy goes to his big family. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Dear Baker family,  John and I had the deepest respect for both your mom and dad. He did the Boscobel Implement ad over wpre radio for many years. He spoke at our church many times always with wit and wisdom!!We loved and admired them as did so many others. Now they are home together again! May God bless each and everyone of you with that "peace that passeth all understanding". Love and prayers, Betty and Oliver

Dear Baker family.  I am sorry for your loss.  It has been many years since I have been in contact with any of your family, but Orlie memories abound.  He took me duck hunting for the first time and coon hunting for the first time.  I was a good friend of Johnathan and one of his pall bearers.  I never forgot him.  My memories of Orlie include hunting and fishing in the lake and river at the farm outside of Boscobel and enjoying the farm life.  Even with such a big family Tom Reid and I were always welcome and invited to dinner or stay overnight.  We even got to help with chores, which we thought was fun for us city slickers.  
He lived a long and fulfilled life and was a man to be remembered with pride and honor.
