Pastor Jack D. Baker, age 83, former pastor of the Cabot United Church and also from Cabot, passed away on November 24, 2018, in St. Johnsbury, VT, following an extended illness after a fall.
Jack's life in church ministry first brought him to Vermont where he was pastor of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Barre, Randolph and S. Newbury from 1975 to 1979. He served throughout Northern New England in each state but returned to his beloved Vermont to his final years in service until retirement in church districts encompassing St. Johnsbury, Newport and Morrisville, before going back to Barre. During his last assignment, he also simultaneously served as Pastor at the Cabot United Church for 5 years.
Jack enjoyed reading and was musically talented, able to pick up and play any instrument, but his favorites were the autoharp and harmonica. His true loves on this earth were sharing his love for the Lord, his family and making music. He had the ability to use humor to make any situation better, which is sorely needed in today's society.
A Memorial Service hosted by Pastor Baker's family will be held at the Cabot United Church on June 30th at 2:00pm with an outdoor luncheon to follow at the family home just up the road. If possible, please mark your calendar and join us for a celebration of his life with friends, family and church brethren.
