Charles Baker

Age 67, died peacefully after a long fight, on Tuesday, February 19, 2002 at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Charles is survived by his wife, Linda; a son, Joshua and daughter-in-law, Lana; a brother, Harry and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary and a daughter, Debbie.

His passion for teaching tolerance for all races will be missed. He also enjoyed helping the Humane Society.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that any memorials go to their local humane society or the Southern Poverty Law Center, 400 Washington Av. P.O. Box 5632 Montgomery, AL 36177-7459.

No Services will be held.

Because it’s so brave to love and the valor
of trusting gives that final aloneness
an echo of a heart once – that final
whisper of pleasure haunts us with sweet
secrets from all those many years ago.
We know that we once lived.
