Baker has helped countless people

To the editor:

I think Ed Baker of old Illmo should be the man of the year. He has been in the wrecker service, body shop and gas station business for 43 years.

Mr. Baker has been to Canada, Oklahoma, New York and a lot of places with his wrecker to pull trucks and cars in. He would do anything to help people get going again.

One time there was a couple on South Kingshighway on a hot day. They were there a long time. Nobody would stop to help them. Good old Ed stopped and helped them. He was that kind of person.

Nobody will know how many people he helped over the years. He was a good person.
