Thomas Baldwin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 11, 2025.
Thomas Allen Baldwin, 88, passed away on August 10, 2025, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Born on June 23, 1937, Tom was known as a master of all trades, always ready to lend a hand in building, remodeling, and fixing anything that was broken. His passion for motorcycles and old cars was only surpassed by his dedication as a father, grandfather, and husband.

He is survived by his loving wife, Gloria Baldwin; his daughter, Michelle Friendy; and his brother, Jake Baldwin. Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Anna and James Baldwin, his sister, Joan Lubinski, his brother James Baldwin, and brother, Baby James.

Respecting his wishes, there will be no formal service. Instead, a celebration of Tom's life will be planned, where friends and family can share memories of a man who was truly remarkable in every endeavor he undertook.
