William Baldwin Obituary
Bill graduated from Newburgh Free Academy High School in 1956 and University of Pittsburgh, Class of 1964 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Bill married Barbara Young and celebrated 56 years of marriage last August 2020.
Bill worked for Mack Trucks in the Test and Development Division until his retirement in 2000. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed spending his summers with Barb, family and friends at their cabin in Maine. He was know for his quick wit and sense of humor, and loved a good joke. Playing golf with his family was a favorite pastime, especially when he was able to hit the ball straight.
Along with his wife, he is survived by his 3 sons: Daniel and his wife Kimberly (Martin); Thomas and his wife Carmela (Campopiano) and their 3 children Zachary, Lauren, and James; William and his wife Jennifer (Shuck) and their 3 children Cade, Peyton, and Reagan; his brother Charles; and sister Diane Kleinschmidt.

Barb, Dan, Tom, Billy (and everyone I dont' know) ... I am so sorry and still shocked at Bill leaving us ... so many memories ... Christmas/Thanksgiving evenings at Charlie & Bea's, camping/fishing at Cedar River Flow, long weekends , New Years Weekends at Beaver Brook and Lake La Bar, the cabin in Maine, the trips we made to PA ... Bill had such a singular wit about him, and he was so good at using it ... I'm so glad Barb that two of you made it out to Sequim a few years ago.

I'm very sorry to hear of Bill's passing and the struggles that he must have had. I always liked this photo of him from the old Mack "Test Shed" - before my time. I always remember that Bill was somebody who always put others at ease. He was always able to bring calm to a tense situation. I don't remember ever hearing him raise his voice. I always felt welcomed and respected when he was around. His family and friends were lucky to have him in their lives.

While I was at Mack, I worked with Bill on a few projects. He was always kind, thorough, and smiling. My condolences to his family and friends.

Bill and I crossed paths for a short period during his long career at Mack. I didn't arrive until 1971. We had some tough assignments together, but with his help we got thru them all.
We talked about our Cabins in New England; his in Maine and mine in New Hampshire. His drive was much longer than my 7 hours, which I thought was tough. I could never understand how he did it other than the gratification and beauty of the place when he arrived.
He also worked with my Dad (Bill Hollenbeck) (who is 97) for a period.
Best wishes to the Baldwin family from mine.

We knew Bill for several years at our camp in Maine. We will miss seeing him and sharing a cocktail.

As a young Mack engineer, Bill was a mentor to me and gave me opportunities that were important to my future. I loved working for him and will always remember his unique laugh and sense of humor. Les Meacock, Ed Merkle and him were the three Musketeers of the Mack new model team. Walt
