"May I offer my belated condolences to the Baker family. I learned only yesterday of the passing of Dennis. I served in the army with Dennis, and remember him as always very considerate of others. While almost everyone in the service called others by their last names, Dennis made a point of calling you by your first name. This is an example of the respect which Dennis showed to others. Again, I offer condolences to his family."
In loving memory of
Dennis Baker
