Neil George Baker (1940-2009)

" Neil was my dad and my best friend. I will forever miss him. He was the best man I have ever knew. He made my mom the happiest person in the world. He also made me the man I am today.

He was always giving and willing to help others. I am so blessed he was in my life. I love you Dad! "

" There is a large group of classmates from FCHS in Fargo, ND who will forever appreciate having been able to spend time with Neil at our recent reunion. He enjoyed living life to its fullest and invited all of us to join in.
My sympathies are extended to you, his family. "

" Throughout High School, Neil and I were always next to each other in class as they were arranged alphabetically. I'm not that tall, but I was always taller than Neil, until he got out of Service. He grew a foot during that time. I didn't recognize him when I ran into him at a local pub. It was good to see him at the 50th reunion. (I didn't realize his middle name was George.) "

" I met Neil on the evening of his death, I could tell immediately he was a fun loving person, he had a broad, smile when he walked over to me to introduce himself. To the family, my sincere sympathy to you and take comfort in knowing that he is with our Lord. "

" I knew Neil from Hawthorne Grade school all the way through The last reunion last summer. He was a good friend and was full of joy and fun. He will be missed. I extend my sympathy to his family and friends. "

" Mom, Jack, Deanna, Keith, family and friends,

I'm finding it difficult to put into words how much Neil meant to me. He was one of the most lighthearted and geniune people I have ever known and I am greatful that he was a part of my life and all of yours. His joy for life, love and family is what I will remember.

He was opened armed when I came into the family and made me feel welcomed.

But, what I will remember the most is the happiness that he brought into Donna's life and into her eyes.

Mom, when you looked at Neil I knew what it looked liked to love with all your heart and soul. I wish I could be there to hold you and cry with you. "

" It was good seeing and visiting with Neal at our 50th. high school reunion last summer. Many good times from Fargo Central were reminisced. "

" I'm so glad I got a chance to spend time with Neil at our 50th...to Neils family, Please accept my deepest sympathies "

" Donna and Family,
