Rick was my favorite for flower arrangements, used him personally and for many wedding cakes I did over the years. Yes he was gifted!! Haven’t seen him for a long time but always enjoyed visiting with him. May he be at peace and enjoying the beauty of heaven. Sympathy for his loved ones.

My Cousin Rick. Growing up we were inspired by Ricky and the love he spread to everyone. I remember many gatherings and the awesome parties and laughs we shared. When we got older is was always about the garden , the pets and of course the flower arrangements. I especially liked when the arrangements displayed things like a praying mantis, a tied bundle of wheat, pheasant feathers and those exotic flowers. Rick always was a beacon of light he just lit up the group with his presence and that shy smile. God gave him a talent ,he used it well here on earth, just imagine what he will do in heaven with all that glimmer and beauty. We Love you Rick Baker, please squeeze big hugs on all our family. Go rest in your mansion .
