Birth date: Jan 24, 1957 Death date: Jun 17, 2023
In the early morning hours of June 17, 2023, Paul George Bakker, age 66, left his earthly body, so infirm with pancreatic cancer, and joyfully joined his Savior Jesus Christ in heaven. Paul was born on January 24, 1957, to Willem Read Obituary
As a former roommate of Paul, to this day I tell the story of sharing a dorm room in Schultze hall. Of course, being a Canadian, Paul was passionate about hockey. So, it is accurate to say that I had a third of the room, Paul had a third of the room and his Hockey gear had a third of the room. At least Paul and I took showers. Pretty sure the hockey gear did not.
Regretfully, I lost track of Paul after Leaving Calvin. Still, early on, it was evident his faith, character and commitment were as much a part of him as his skin and hair.
