Dear Reb, Greg & Family. I just learned of Yank's passing. My heart goes out to all of you. He imparted many words of wisdom to me in the time I knew him and was a very wise and caring man. I am deeply saddened by his passing. My love and prayers are with you always. Peace be with you all.

Luv,

As my brother, Greg, has said, thanks to all who have expressed their sentiments about Dad. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. As comfort to our family, we have not lost Dad....we KNOW where he is and there's no better place he could be. Now that he is absent in body, he is, truly, present with the Lord. As was so eloquently stated in his eulogy, "Thanks, Dad, for being "The Wind Beneath Our Wings"! I love you! I miss you! I'll see you again. Your Janie-girl

I want to Thank all you wonderful folks for your kind words to our Family.

In many ways my Dad was my life & I've quickly learned Nothing Is The Same without him here with us...Nothing at all.

I Love you Dad and as I promised you "I'll be there with you today, tomorrow, & forever".

Jane, I share in your grief for the love you had for your Dad. My heart goes out to you and your family, Love, Jerry

To my beloved Mother I say...No two people have ever been "one" so completely. I know how you hurt but I know how strong your faith is. You know he's with Jesus and free from all pain. Dad is, as he promised, "waiting on the bench." May God hold you safely in His hands each and every day of your life. I love you so very much!

Dear Linda and family,
Jackie and I were so sorry to hear about your father.Our deepest sympathy to you.

I wish to extend my sincere condolences to Frank's family for their loss.
One of my favorite squadron mates while flying with him in VMF221, "Baldy" was a pilot "par excellance". He loved to fly and he explained his eagerness to volunteer for missions by saying he got sea sick while on our carrier, the Bunker Hill, but when he was flying he was fine. Semper Fi "Yank".

I offer condolences on behalf of myself and the Goulding family. Mr. Baldwin was a great friend to my grandfather (Al Goulding) and I am sure they are together at this moment having great fun reliving their antics. What great stories they had to tell ... I still enjoy hearing them to this day! What a wonderful 84 years he had....he really knew how to live! I had the pleasure of visiting with him last fall, and he made a wonderful impression on my 8 year old son. Such a sweet man. I know you...
