Pete Baker and I were life long best friends. We were baptized in the same church, attended Baxter Christian and Grand Rapids Christian together, and Pete was my mentor in the retail book business.


Pete went on many of my family trips and gatherings and I went on several of their family vacations. We played baseball and basketball together, we went to the Grand Rapids Museum's Saturday films together, and we were in each other's weddings. We shared many fun times together!


Pete worked his entire life at Baker Book House, the family business, and Pete headed up the retail division for 25 years. He started several Baker Book House stores and two Pooh's Corner children's book stores.


For several years Pete was a leader at Logos Farm Community in Alto. He was especially sensitive and generous with time and finances to persons seeking ways to live the Christian life. Pete died at age 52 and he is missed!
