Dear Bakers -- It's been several decades since we (the Flannerys) last saw each other on the slopes at Solitude or in your home. For a while there, I grew up with and learned from Dale, Leanne, Danette, and Georgette -- took ski lessons with Orval -- had the requisite crush on Dale -- had a most remarkable birthday cake made for me by Bea.
Your loss saddens all of us - colleen in Virginia; Kit in Utah and John in New Mexico

Dearest Baker Family,
My heart is heavy hearing of Superintendant Baker's passing. I'm a police officer with Granite District and had the priviledge of working with Dale in many difficult situations. In one's life, we have certain people who make a difference and impact and Dale was one of mine. He was highly respected,very trustworthy and many times made my job much easier. I will never forget him and our world was made such a better place due to his love, caring and dedication. May you find the comfort and peace needed in this time of loss. God Bless.

Dear Susan and Family,
There are not enough words in the world to express my love and respect for Dale. He was a GREAT mentor to many and a true advocate for all young people. I would love the opportunity to talk with you (actually brag about Dale) and share a few of the private stories that you may want to know.
With Love and Friendship,
McKell Withers

Having only met Mr. Dale one time (at dance), I have to say, he and his lovely wife raised a fabulous daughter. One that touches everyone's life that she happens to come in contact with. I can only imagine that Mr. Dale had the same impact on the people he interacted with as well.
Please know that we are constantly lifting your family up in prayer. I know there are no words that can comfort you now, but always try to remember the good times.
We love you Angie!

Susan, Angie & Tyler,
It was with heartfelt sadness that we learned of Dale's passing. Our lives have taken us in different directions, but I will always remember our family events like Breakfast with Santa and gatherings at home. Dale’s smile and jovial attitude were infectious and your family ties admirable. We and the world are richer for having shared life with Dale and I’m glad Leann was able to meet him at our last Breakfast with Santa. We wish we lived closer together so we could be with you at this time. We send our love and prayers.

Dear Susan and Families,
It is amazing how so many thoughts flood back into my mind. Dale and Leanne were my friends, as well as neighbors in our early years. We could see from our front yards to each others homes. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of sorrow.

As friends of Angie and Shawn, we have many fond memories of visiting with Dale and Susan--"Jaxson and Mollie's Grandpa and Grandma"--in both Utah and Oklahoma. Your family has a special place in our hearts because of your kindness and the strength of your own family bond. We have shared so many special moments together. We feel blessed for having known you. Our love and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Susan, Candy and I have wonderful memories of Dale. He was an inspiration to Candy who watched him win a landslide election as the student body president at Granger. Anyone who saw Dale ski, knew of his tremendous courage and strength. He was a mainstay on the football field at the "U" where his
devotion to the team was an inspiration every single day. We valued our ability to run even more simply because we knew he would have given anything for our legs. He was a great friend to everyone. His sense of humor and positive outlook on life was unmatched. Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

Dale was a great man all of his life. It was my honor to live next door to his beautiful family on Market St. I looked up to him from the first day I met him. He was always the perfect example to so many.

I will always remember Dale's tradition of coins wrapped in foil and baked in a cake that we were privileged to share with him for Mollie's 4th birthday! God bless you all during this difficult time, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Baker Family, I grew up with Dale, and his family ever since the 6th Grade. I was amazed by his spirit and his willingness to help those that needed the help. I will always remember our trips to Bear Lake, the teaching that he helped me with. Without Dale I still would not have learned to Water Ski or snow Ski. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

I have nothing but fond memories of Dale,we traded baseball cards ,jumped on his tramp, played football, rode bikes, and was was just plain kids together in the old neighborhood. I cannot recalll anybody beating him in an arm wrestle. He is a great example of a man overcoming adversity. My heartfelt condolences and may God bless the Bakers.

Susan,
Kent and I are in Florida and just checked our email to find out about
Dale's passing. Needless to say, we were shocked and immensely saddened.
The fact you are in our
neighborhood is enough for us to consider you family. Our deepest love and prayers to you.

I have many fond memories of Dale. We were childhood friends and spent many summer hours playing with our baseball cards or electric football. I can't recall anybody beating him in an arm wrestle. What a great example of a man overcoming adversity. My love and support to his family.
