Dr.

Baker, who spent his career at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, most recently as director of its Diabetes Research Center, played a pivotal role in shaping how diabetes is diagnosed and treated. He helped design and implement a landmark national study in the 1980s and early '90s that showed that rigorous control of blood-sugar levels can dramatically cut down on the disease's serious complications, including damage to the eyes, kidneys and nerves. Dr. Baker was a principal investigator and member of the steering committee for the 10-year study, known as Dr. Lester Baker spent his career at Children's Hospital of Phila.

In his 35-year career, he also pioneered research showing a connection between family dynamics and diabetes controi and cowrote, with Dr. Salvatore Minuchin, Psychosomatic Families: Anorexia Nervosa in Context (published by Harvard University Press in 1978). The book helped bring family therapy into the treatment of poorly controlled diabetes in children. While Dr.

Baker had an impressive body of research, which included being an international leader in the field of neonatal hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinism, he also was well regarded as a clinician and teacher. In 1994, he received an award as outstanding clinician in diabetes from the American Diabetes Association. "His patients loved him. They absolutely adored him because of his personality," said Dr. Seth Braun- stein, chief of the diabetes program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

"He cared about them. He took care of them. He loved them back. Each of his patients was like his children." Dr. Baker was also a generous teacher who "brought us all along and encouraged us," said Dr.

Paul Thornton, an endocrinologist and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "He didn't keep his brilliance for his own advancement. He spread it all around and brought people with him. He had a very incisive mind. He could see a problem and know what to do." Dr.

Baker's manner was gentle, patient, kind and empathetic, with a dose of humor, according to colleagues and family. His life, they added, revolved around his family, his work and tennis. His son, H.P. Baker, of Philadelphia, said he found it remarkable that his father had "no ego." "People on the tennis court knew him as 'Les the tennis his son said. "No one knew that there was a world-class endocrinologist next to him." Besides his son, Dr.

Baker is survived by his wife, Liesel Baker; a daughter, Deborah White of Cranford, N.J.; and two grandchildren. Services will be held at 1 p.m. today at Society Hill Synagogue, 418 Spruce Philadelphia. Interment will be in Har Jehuda Cemetery, 8400 Lansdowne Upper Darby. Contributions may be made to the Diabetes Research Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, One Children's Center, 34th and Civic Center Boulevard, Philadelphia 19104.

Lachs was "a real master teacher" who drew droves of students and inspired many to pursue careers in scholarship or religion. Adena Potok and her husband, Chaim Potok, the novelist, studied with Dr. Lachs every Saturday for many years at Temple Beth HillelBeth El in Wynnewood, the synagogue to which Dr. Lachs belonged. She recalled his "razor-sharp mind and encyclopedic memory." "When he was teaching Talmud, for example, he brought in material from Greek philosophy, from Roman law and culture, from Christianity, and so on," Potok recalled.

Born in Philadelphia, Dr. Lachs graduated from Central High School during World War II. He went on to earn his teacher's diploma at Gratz College, his bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and his doctorate, in 1958, at Dropsie College. He was ordained a rabbi after graduating from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City. Right after that, he served during the Korean War years as an Army chaplain, stationed in the United States.

He served briefly as assistant rabbi at Congregation Emmanuel in the city's Oak Lane section.
