MORRIS D. BAKER
Morrie Baker was a model Jew, deeply caring and commit-
ted. He fiercely loved Israel, and his generous philanthropy
encompassed the whole Jewish people, with special empha-
sis on Torah, Talmud and Jewish education.
We will miss his insightful wisdom, his cogent, thoughtful,
independent minded recommendations, his friendly, unas-
suming manner, and his willingness to lead and set an
example.
We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to his beloved wife
Beverly, his loving sons, Adam, Marc and Joshua and to the
entire family, who filled his life with great love and joy.
May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion and
Jerusalem.
