Robert Baldwin Obituary

Robert "Bob" Wayne Baldwin, age 77, of North East, MD passed away on Tuesday August 22, 2023. He was born on January 13, 1946, in St. Albanis, WV to the late James Elmore Baldwin and Ruth Elizabeth Baldwin (Smith).

As a child, Bob grew up in a Baptist household. Later in life, he honored his country by serving in the United States Navy for six years. Bob adored his family and cherished the moments spent together. He often liked to sit on his porch and enjoy the outdoors, cook for his family, and watch the Baltimore Orioles. But of all things, Bob loved to watch his grandson, Joseph play baseball and his LSU Tigers. Bob and his wife, Doris, traveled to Tennessee every year to go "glamping" as Doris would call it.

Bob is survived by his children: Robin Baldwin, Randall Brooks (Korina), Carl Baldwin, Bobby Wayne Baldwin, Eddie Baldwin, Brenda Dangerfield (Shawn), Valerie Brooks (Charlie), and Diana Hutton (Michael); grandchildren: Joseph Wayne Quigley (Katheryn), Riley Jean Riggi, Christopher, Randall, Brett, Christina (Justin), Tia (Matt), Hayes (Angel), Lauren, Mallory, Ryan (Arielle), Amanda, and Katie (Darren); great-grandchildren: Kendra Lee, Wade, Kloe, Willow, Kenndahl, Brianna, Olivia, Aubrey, Amaya, Elliott; and siblings: James Baldwin (Janette), Ruth Ann Cavender, and Linda Pauley. In addition to his parents, Bob is preceded in death by his loving wife, Doris Baldwin.

A celebration of Bob's life will be held on Wednesday, August 30, 2023 at 11:00AM at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, P.A., 259 East Main Street, Elkton, MD 21921 where friends and family may attend the visitation beginning at 10:00AM. Burial will be private.

Korina

August 25, 2023

Bob was a true lover of country music. He would often times share with Randy and I different artists he enjoyed and tell me to listen to them. He would follow up days later and say "now Korina, did you listen to the music". Of course, I would, and we would enjoy discussing many different songs and artists.
Bob was a very particular eater. Liking food prepared a very specific way. He taught us all how to cook and enjoy the love of each other's company over delicious Louisiana cuisine.
Bob also enjoyed gardening. Planting and taking care of flowers and plants was fulfilling for Bob. I enjoyed discussing different plants and flowers. He taught me how to take care of ferns which I definitely have not mastered.

Watching and listening to his love for is grandson Joe and his continual support in Joe's seasonal sporting events was such a joy. Joe was very clearly the apple of Bob's eye.

Until we meet again, cheers an I will think of you every time I listen to John Prine's song "Clay Pigeons".

Rest in eternal peace Bob.
