Not sure what to say?

Chris and I loved your humor. You can never be forgotten!

There never was anyone quite like Ed. His humor was contagious.

Dear Georgia, I will always remember Ed's sense of humor as well as his intelligence and caring. I hope that you are well and know that he is not forgotten.

What a lovely service, honoring a great man. Ed has a place in the hearts of my entire family. He was loved by many for his quick wit and humor as well as his big heart. May he rest in peace.

Dear Baldrige family,
What wonderful neighbors you were. My family has so many wonderful memories of Dr. Baldrige. He would always make you laugh. The service was a beautiful tribute to him. His memories will forever keep you smiling. You are in our thought and prayers.

Dear Georgia, Ed, Tom, and Chris,

I wish to add my condolences to those of so many other people whose lives were touched by Ed. He was truly a special man, and I remember him with such great fondness, respect and admiration. I am so glad that our paths crossed in Allentown and at Muhlenberg College! God bless you and grant you peace.

Ed Baldridge was a dear friend during and after our time at Muhlenberg College. My husband, the late Christopher C. Joyner, kept in correspondence with him. Ed's joy of history, his sense of humor and his devotion to his family and Muhlenberg friends can never be forgotten.

To the Baldrige family: Just thinking of Dr Baldrige puts a smile on my face. A fabulous and challenging professor, he made every classroom session an experience. His zest for life, for learning, and for his students was unstoppable. I imagine all of his students have a favorite "Dr. Baldrige story": mine is the unforgettable trip to Philadelphia on a May Sunday to see the sights for our Colonial History class-and being hurried along on our "running tour of Phladelphia" because we needed to...

Clearly a gifted man who gave of himself. My condolences to the Baldrige family.
