Fran Haring Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Just got back onto the Internet at the hotel where we're staying...... and dear God, what horrible news. I've been around drum corps for 40-plus years now.... and I'm not sure I've ever met a more unique, refreshing, upbeat person in this activity than Cozy Baker. For someone so full of life and energy to be taken from us at too young an age.....I know it's God's will, but it's just....well, it's just wrong. RIP, my friend. Drum corps will never be the same without you. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am blessed to have known him over the last 13 years. He was affable and always had time to talk. His passion for and knowledge of drum corps was amazing. It's a sad day for all of us.

Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Although I never had the chance to meet him, I too feel the loss of Cozy. As a reader, I will miss him. As a citizen, I thank him. As a fellow veteran, I salute him. Fair winds, and following seas Cozy. May you truly enjoy your "final tour".
