Even though you knew I was a diehard Auburn fan, you always greeted me with a smile and a "Roll Tide." My response would always be "War Eagle!" For you, my friend, just this once...Roll Tide! Rest in peace, Donald. - Andrew

Uncle Donald May your body and soul rest in heaven. I give the same words I said to you when you called me on my sick bed and ask me did I need anything and I said I just want you to pray for me. I made it on earth, now you gotta make the best with the wings you were given on this 3rd day of April. Love you and miss you Your oldest niece Venita aka "Slim"

You will truly be missed, Mr. Baker. You definitely knew how to keep us laughing and would always welcome us with a "Roll Tide". It was never "Goodbye" that's too long, it was always "See you Later".

I will truly miss you Uncle Donald. I will always remember the good laughs and talks we had. Love you always ❤️
