I was sad to hear of Rick's passing. May he rest in peace. I will never forget the first day that I met Rick in 1964.....a girl never forgets her first boyfriend... we were just kids. May the Baker family find peace and comfort at this difficult time.

My sympathies to the entire Baker family. From the time of our first meeting at the Tionesta Creek Baker family reunion, ca 1980, I found my future brother-in-law to be someone with whom I would look forward to spending more time. Although our get-togethers were infrequent, the good memories are everlasting. Rest in peace Rick.

Dear Donna, we are so sorry for your loss of Rick, my best friend from St Joe. We were always together at school, and would compete for 'head of the class'. The girls, usually at the top academically, never had a chance against us. We even shared the same birthday (12/23/46).

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.

Brother Bernie
Rick and I spent our childhood together having lots of adventures some that led to us sharing corporal punishment to keep us on the straight and narrow. I realized latter that he was more than a brother he also was my first very best friend. No, we cant visit each other any longer but our love and memories remain bright.Go with the stars my dear brother

My condolences and sympathy to the entire Baker family. Rick was a big part of my growing up and surviving the "wonder years" near Clarion, Pennsylvania. He and his brother, Bernie, were full-time members of the Breniman-Baker Gang that was connected at the hip until adulthood took us in different directions. Rick was a great guy and I'll never forget him.
