Obituary

Robert "Blimp" Lehman Baldwin, age 93, of Sugar Run, PA passed away Tuesday evening, September 6, 2022 at the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital.

Bob was born on April 5, 1929 on Spring Hill, PA the son of the late Archie F. and Letha P. Linaberry Baldwin.  He grew up on the Welbec Farm on Spring Hill where his father managed the farm and Bob helped with chores.  He was graduate of Wyalusing High School.

After high school, Bob served his country in the US Army Infantry during the Korean Conflict.  He was a recipient of a Purple Heart.

After returning from the service, Bob was employed as a Truck Driver for Taylor Packing for 20 years.  He then was employed with P & G Packing Division before retiring in the 1970's.

He devoted his life to his wife, Norma Evelyn Gamble Baldwin.  They were married for 63 years before her passing on June 3, 2015.  Together they enjoyed taking long day trips.  They traveled many miles faithfully following the Wyalusing sports teams, including the Wyalusing Valley Rams Sports teams, and the Wyalusing American Legion Baseball teams. Whether it be a home or away game, they would always be in the crowd cheering their beloved Wyalusing teams.  Bob was a member of the Wyalusing United Methodist Church, the Wyalusing American Legion Post #534, the Korean War Veterans Association and the Union Wyalusing Lodge No. 108 F&AM.  Bob took great pleasure in working with wood crafts.  He was well known for taking his daily trips to Wyalusing to visit with people at Connie's Supermarket, PS Bank, the Post Office, and Park Place Apartments.

Bob is survived by his siblings, Marian Timson of Johnson City, NY and David Baldwin of Woodstock, NY; his nieces and nephews, Pam Cherrington, Donna Wicklund, Michael Timson, and Kelly Baldwin.  Besides his wife and parents, he was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, William "Willie" Timson.
