Peace Corps Trainee Gregor V. Baker dies in Ecuador
Death of Peace Corps Trainee Gregor Baker
FROM: Gaddi H. Vasquez, Director
It is with deep regret and sadness that I inform you of the death of Gregor V. Baker, a Peace Corps trainee, who died of natural causes in Ecuador on Saturday, March 6.
Gregor, 55, of Navasota, Texas, had applied to serve in the Dallas regional recruitment office and had expressed that it was his life dream to serve in the Peace Corps. He reported for staging on February 9 and arrived in Ecuador on February 11, intending to work on small enterprise development and micro-banking projects.
The memorial service for Mr. Baker is scheduled for Saturday, March 13, at 11:00 a.m. at the Wheat Cemetery in Millican, Texas.
All of us in the Peace Corps family are deeply saddened by Gregor's death. He embodied the best traditions of Peace Corps Volunteers, and his life and work will be deeply missed by all who knew and worked with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
