John Baker AM ESM
We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of our Deputy Chairman, John Baker AM ESM.
Our heartfelt and sincere sympathies are extended to his wife, Jo, and his children, Harry, Kate, and Annabel. First and foremost, John was a family man; they were his anchor, and his greatest loves.
John joined the inaugural Virtual War Memorial Fundraising Advisory Group in February 2014 and in July 2016 became a Director of Virtual War Memorial Limited (VWM). Following a short break in 2017/2018 he rejoined the Board of Directors in July 2019.
As a Director of VWM John brought to the role incredible vision, energy, and drive. Drawing on the knowledge, skills, and contacts gained across more than 30 years in advertising and communications, and his involvement in community organisations, the development of VWM has John’s DNA embedded within it.
His loss will be felt deeply by the extended team and all who have come to know him through his association with VWM. He was a force of nature and a willing and inspired contributor to the VWM cause. He was generous, thoughtful, kind, and wickedly funny. He seemed indefatigable as he juggled his work and all his passion projects with dedication. In no small measure he has contributed to VWM’s success to date.
John will forever be part of the VWMA story. Our focus now is to rebound from this tragic loss and ensure that VWM becomes a stellar part of his outstanding legacy.
We will miss him greatly.
