Tim and Family,
I am very sorry for your loss.

With deepest sympathy,

I worked with Don for many years at Camp George West and always enjoyed seeing his smiling face and experiencing his pleasant disposition.  He spoke often of "Nance" and his children and you could just see in his face and hear in his voice how much they all meant to him.

I will miss seeing him at the COARNG luncheons.

My deepest sympathy to his family.

Don you are going to be greatly missed by allyou have touch. you were a big infulence in my life. my heart is a little empter without you Joe baker and family

Don was ambitious and dedicated to our Country and most of all his Family.  You have always been a part of our family very quiet at times and then at times always standing by your morals and beliefs.  
Don, you have always been a busy man always had new ideals and creative.  Your Skills building of your toys that I was so proud to show off to all my friends that Don Baker was my Uncle who build Trucks, Saw Horses, Rocking Chairs and anything anyone wanted.  I could always depend on you to build and create gifts for me to give to other people.
Memories start back of when you and Nathine started going together and she would swoon over you.
Then little Debbie was born and Timmy two years later.  I remember the days of you living at  the Amory in Golden, then Camp George West  and  being a loving Husband and father and adding so much pleasure to all who know and love you.    I can not think of anyone more dedicated to his wife Nathine  and Penny his youngest daughter even in difficult times you were very strong.
God has chosen a better place for you and I will always remember you and keep a place for you in my heart until we meet again.  
 Love Your Niece,  Joyce

Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with the family. I thank him for the memories.

Don,
Thank you for your dedicated service to this great country. I will always remember the military families at Camp George West. We were very close and we took care of each other. You like may other soldiers in my life were my inspiration for serving in the military. God Bless, you will always be in our hearts and minds.
