The first time I met Ralph was at Sunday School at First Baptist Church downtown Dallas, way back in the early 60's. I believe he was always a strong Christian believer and always a good friend to everyone–always respectful and kind. He was a gentleman. I know he is with his Lord today. Someday we'll meet again. I sent a message earlier but am not certain it went through…the computer locked up. I hope this time it makes it through!!!
It was my pleasure to work with Ralph at Metro, and a happier person has never lived. Judging from the outpouring of love and affection at his funeral, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Rest in peace, big boy.
I worked with Ralph at Metro Networks and always perked up when I saw his name on caller ID. I knew he had a traffic tip for me and that I could trust his info. He had such a way with words when it came to doing traffic reports and always brought a smile to my face when I heard him on the air or visited with him in person. Ralph was a classy guy and a joy to know. It was obvious that he loved the Lord, and we had that in common. May the peace of God comfort you at this sad time.
My daddy was and still is very loved. My mother and I will miss him dearly. We know the Lord will be with us and help us through this. Daddy, thank you so much for everything you have done!
To the Family: Chet and I are praying for your well being as you work your way through this sudden loss of your loved one. We will miss his always smiling face. He was the most awesome friend and neighbor. God Bless You, Ralph, for being in our lives. To know you was such an honor. You enriched our lives so much and will be so greatly missed. Elizabeth and Bailey and Parris and Chase and Cash and families: we are here for you. Just call us. We love you all so much. God Bless. Chet and Susan Helt
Mr Baker will be missed dearly. I am still in shock. Even though he may not be here with us he will be in our hearts. You will be missed.. Lorena Guadron
Carol, Barbara and Elizabeth, my heart aches and I can't imagine the pain you must feel. Memories have flooded my brain and I grieve from afar. Carol, my sister Char passed on your hug via the phone lines yesterday. I was so very happy to hear that Ralph married and had a daughter. Children make life so special and I'm so happy that Ralph was able to experience the special relationship with a wife and a child. My love and thoughts are with all of you today.
Dear Baker Family; Please accept my sincerest condolences. I am always saddened to see the loss of a loved one, although they are at peace, we still miss them very much. My prayer is that, 'Our Father who art in heaven' grant your desire to see Ralph again thru the sacrifice of His son; the Resurrection and Everlasting life. 'Thy will be done on earth..' Amen.

My thoughts are with you Elizabeth, Barbara and Carole. What fun I had with Ralph and the Baker family. I will miss Buddy so much. I am out of town and unable to attend but I will be thinking about all of you wherever we are.
