After only meeting Dr. Becker one time he spent twenty minutes with me sharing the trials and tribulations of the true chiropractic pioneers such as he that changed the entire profession and made it great today. He is an honorable man not only for his military medals but as a true community servant. I will never forget you and the smile you gave to me learning from you all you’ve accomplished for our profession. With love, honor, and respect, you are in my prayers. Sincerely,
Dr. Steven Ess
Rochester, NY
Dear Jodi and Kelly,
We are so very sorry about your Dad’s passing.
We remember all the great times we shared as family neighbors.
He was a wonderful man and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Our love to you, your families and your Mom, Teddy.
With love,
Buddy and Chris John and Missy Affronti
My most sincere condolences to family and friends of Dr. Paul Baker. I had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Baker over the past year and he soon became (which should come as no surprise) one of my favorite people to be around. He was an inspiration to me on both a personal and professional level. I will certainly miss his kindness, wisdom, and his ever so modest stories of service and bravery. I will never forget his smile. He was one of a kind. We have truly lost someone special…
Paul, we will all miss you so much. I am blessed to have gotten to know you. You were so important to the Honor Flight family. The Welcome Homes just won’t be the same without your (and Zsa Zsa’s!) smiling face. I know you will be with us in spirit.
I was thinking of Paul tonight, and the ceremony where he was awarded the bronze star. He was such a wonderful, kind man. It doesn’t seem possible that he has been gone for 9 years.
