John served at Fort Dix in New Jersey, but during his service, he pursued his artistic ambitions by painting murals in various buildings at the army post. After the war, he attended Duquesne University, Carnegie Mellon University, and eventually traveled to Europe to study art. He later returned and married Nancy Ducci. The Baker family was originally from McKees Rocks, Pa. This image is located on west column F of the memorial.
