I learned today that my friend, P7M13, Len Baker of Denver, Colorado, died last Thursday in an automobile accident.

He was an amazing man - his profile page was simple, stating:

Texas Aggie, Class of 1976, Graduated 4 years late, Ag Ed Major, Rode the horse, Wore the boots

He was a devout Christian, worked countless hours in his Church, a devoted father and a good friend.

He reminded me constantly to see things from the point of view of others, and I will miss him more than I can express.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Please include this family in your prayers.......

[Cagey]

Please include this family in your prayers.......

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thank you Cagey.......... he was a good 'ole Texas Boy who wanted to go back to live in Germany....... Army....... lol

[glock rocks]

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thank you very much glock......... I've had a lot of cyber hugs today.........

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Would you please ping the Texans so we can give this Aggie a Texas sized send off?

[terilyn]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Such a young man too. It's hard to lose a good friend.

I will keep both his family and you in my prayers.

Hugs to you!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

This is why I wasn't in class today.........and also why the folks at the grocery store kept staring at me......swollen eyes, runny nose......... he was such a nice man........ thank you for coming to say goodbye......

[Pharmboy]

Hey Tex, so sorry to hear about this.

We need all the Freepers we can get, so this is a loss for his family and friends as well as for this great country.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks Pharmboy - he's a great addition to Heaven though!

"Rode the horse, Wore the boots"

For a Texas gentleman, that's about as good as epitaphs get.

I'm so very sorry, Texas Girl.
My heart goes out to you and his family in this time of loss.

May God wrap him in His loving arms in the Place where there is no pain and no sorrow.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh Thank you my friend.....I knew I could count on you for this type of post.............

[RikaStrom]

Oh Whyisa, I'm so sorry to hear this. I will add his family to my prayers.

[COB1]

I'll join with Meek and bump the whole state of Texas, Texas Girl.

HATS OFF, TEXANS!

A fellow Texan, a brother in Christ, and a FRiend has passed on.
Let's honor his memory.

[MeekOneGOP]

Would you please ping the Texans so we can give this Aggie a Texas sized send off?

You bet I will.
Rest in Peace, Len Baker

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

He had been gone from Texas quite a while, but always considered Texas his home......he's got to be smiling at that post Cob......... thank you

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

It is an amazing place Dog Gone..... thank you for stopping to say that........

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

From a Longhorn/Cougar to an Aggie, Texans both:

Rest in Peace, you had to be a fine gentleman judging by the friends you left behind.

I couldn't say it any better than COB so let me repeat it. I'll grieve and pray with you. We certainly need more of these men here now.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you. Aggies are good folks, all of them that I have ever known.....

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

As a Texas Tech girl myself, I certainly appreciate the kind words from a Longhorn......... to an Aggie........ Texans all........ thank you
