Most of all, Sam loved his family, friends, and God.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Charles C. Baker. Survivors include his sisters, Sheila Peters and husband Art of El Reno, and Jill Shaw and husband Ben of Yukon; and numerous nieces and nephews that he loved dearly. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
