My Father, My Friend

Thadd Baker,
Friend, Father,
Husband, Mentor,
Brother, Son,

A life cut short...
A family left to grieve...
Gone but not forgotten...
You are always here with us...


Dad my special friend...
A loss so sudden...
your life brought to a sudden end...


Fear not your memory will not be forgotten...
Your memory will never fade...
We will never forget...
Your star shines bright...

So sail on sailor...
Fair winds & Following seas...
