John Baker Tributes

John Baker  

11 June 1955 to 27 August 2018

Musician, poet, composer and gentle man

One of Australia's greatly-loved songwriters, John Baker, passed away on Monday 27 August in his adopted home city of Adelaide.

Although his physical self has left this earth, his spirit, memory, music and poetry live on.

This page is intended as a living tribute to John, a way to celebrate the stories of his life and the eulogies from the day we said our final farewells.

Feel free to leave your own memory of John, a message or a tribute of your own, at the end of this page.  Or if you prefer, email me a pdf version and i will post it up on the stories page for you. gayle@thebakersuite.com
