As i sit here tinking what to write , there is so much I dont know where to start. The the main thing about uncle JR is he loved life . He loved his family so much. For the last 2 years we eat breakfast together on Sunday's and we got really close, and I am gonna miss him. We talked about the Baker family and he was proud to be a Baker. He would tell me stories about growing up o the farm that would mke me hurt lauging so hard. When he was a boy I remember him and a bunch of his buddies trying to break a colt that they had raised on the farm. (they never did break him)) not because they didnt try.I think the horse broke them One time paw Baker was trying out a new tractor that was alot bigger than what paw had. They also was trying the plows that went with the tractor. If you knew JR he only knew one way and that was wide open. He was plowing in the bottoms wide open and throwing dirt 3 foot up in the air. Of course mamaw was having a fit becaue he was going so fast and I will never forget what he said. "Mama why do you think they put them fast gears on the dam tractor" mamaw just shook her head and went back to the truck. anyway I loved Uncle JR and will miss him!!!!!!
