Leave it to Baldy, (a tribute by Senator Culp Krueger):
"Leave it to Baldy," oft heard refrain.
Accomplished by Baldy—his claim to fame.
Country boy with a gentle air;
for others always time to spare.

Served his community, fellow man;
worked in harmony with God's plan.
"Leave it to Baldy!" rings in our ears,
our charge, our challenge through coming years.

(1965)
