Francis Kirkhope Baker was my Uncle. Kirk married my Mother's sister Evelyn Kelly in 1948. They had seven children. As a child, I often spent summers with Uncle Kirk and the family on Cape Cod. Kirk was an avid fisherman and taught me to fish at an early age. His 4th child, also named Kirk, is the spitting image of him.

Revisions
I have been searching the internet for weeks looking for information on my Uncle Kirk Baker. Unfortunately, I never knew his real first name was Francis until this week when I found a note written by a family member. I'm so glad you have kept these records all this time. Thank you!
