My prayers and Sympathy go out to the family of Ha Baccam. I worked as a graphic artist at Heartland Area Education Agency. I had daily contact with Ha as he worked there, also, in the Print Shop. I remember him as a very conscientious and friendly man who was an asset to Heartland and the schools he served. I retired in 1997 and had not seen Ha since then, but I will always remember him.

Dearest La and family,
Our prayers are constantly with you as you grieve your loss of beloved Ha. Our lives are so much richer for having known him. A pastor talked once about why Jesus told his disciples just before the resurrection that it was important for him to leave this earth physically so that we could all experience Jesus' Spirit more fully. Ha's witness and Spirit will continue to live on in all those countless people his life has touched.
Love,
Gary and Nancy T. Guthrie

Sal and the Baccam family: Deb DeGraff and Kathy and Rhonda from the U.S. Attorney's office send their sympathy and prayers to you and your family.
I still live in the neighborhood of your parents and have seen the cars, and sadden to hear it was for this reason. On Friday, Jesus took a hold of your father's hand, and wrapped his arm around all of you. He is the great comforter. Rest in Him, just as your father is doing. Rhonda Maddex

My condolences to all of the Baccam family. Ha Baccam was a good man and I was fortunate to know him for 30+years. I know it was his mission to bring the goodness out of people and he succeeded. Rest in Peace, Ha.
