WARREN Tony Baker was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis in 1985 and retired from his career in automotive prototype, paint and bodywork when he became disabled four years later.
He’s spent the last 4 1/2 years fighting to draw attention to city buildings, public spaces and businesses he found to be either flat-out inaccessible or difficult to use for people living with physical challenges.
