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.

He served in the Army PhilDragoo...... I have no more information than that.......thank you.......

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

And he would have been stunned and overwhelmed by the response here....... thank you for your words........

[Texagirl4W]

I didn't know him but he and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers. What a great man he seemed to be. LOL

"Tonk, we need to get Len's name added to the Memorial Wall,
but I can't remember who was doing that. Do you?"

May Len's family and friends find solace in knowing he rests in peace in the arms of his Father. Amen.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thank you........... I'm so glad you could see a glimpse of him through this thread.........

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

It gives me great comfort, and I'm sure it does them too......thank you.

I didn't know it, Tonk, but Texas Girl said she had already sent Mr. Magoo the information.
Thanks, old friend.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I'll remember your friend Len, our fellow FReeper and his family in my prayers.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

Texasgirl, I realized as soon as I posted that I had failed to include your screen name. I'm soory to hear about the loss of your friend.

Thank you for the ping, Tonk

Silver Taps at A&M
By Mrs. Jeanette Hennigan ^©.

You hear about the Aggie Band
And the Spirit of Aggieland.
But few have heard the Farewell Hymn
Of Silver Taps at A&M

All day the flag flies at half-mast.
A sign to us of a solemn task,
To bid farewell to one who’s gone.
With Silver Taps he’s not alone.

The night is dark and very still.
Where Sully stands the area fills
With a silent crowd of those who care.
Their hearts all joined in silent prayer.

The Ross Volunteers, the honor guard,
Speak for us all as their guns discharge.
Twenty-one guns now blast the air
And fade away in the darkness there.

The taps blow loud from the tower near.
And twice again so faint, yet clear.
Like rustling wings of a soul in flight,
Silver Taps fades in the night.

You stand spellbound, you scarcely breathe.
With heavy heart you turn to leave.
Your Aggie friend no more you’ll see,
Till Silver Taps is blown for thee.

Silver Taps at A&M
Will always be our farewell hymn
To those who’ve gone to heights unknown.
With Silver Taps, he journeys on.

How sad to lose a friend. I will keep him in my prayer list and will include you in the list as well.
