I herad at church this morning that Mr. Redhound Charlie Baker passed away late Saturday afternoon. Mr. & Mrs Baker have meant a lot to a lot of the people in the Redhound family over the years.

This is a terrible terrible thing. Mr. Baker was not only a great fan and supporter or Redhound sports, he was a great man. My condolences go out to everyone in the Baker and Redhound family.

I really hate to hear this. When I was a player Charlie way always around, and he always had a good one-liner to chear you up on a bad day and enhance the good ones. It is always hard losing someone that has been such a part of the support structure of your program...he will be missed and my prayers are with the family. God blessed the Redhounds with one of the "Good Guys" and he will be missed.

Great fan; great man. Loved kids.

Mr. Redhound we will miss seeing Charlie on the sidelines and in the stands.

Any info. on arrangements etc. for Charlie??
