Thomas Baldwin Obituary
Thomas Allen Baldwin, 88, passed away Aug. 10, 2025, in Allentown.
Born 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.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Anna and James Baldwin; sister, Joan Lubinski; brother, James Baldwin; and brother, Baby James.
He is survived by his loving wife, Gloria Baldwin; daughter, Michelle Friendy; and brother, Jake Baldwin.
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.

Gloria, I am so very sorry for the loss of Tom. I have missed and will forever cherish our chats in the waiting room at dialysis, as I was dropping off my Mom for her treatments. He was a wonderful man and you are the epitome of a devoted wife. I am sure that when he got to Heaven, my Mom - the other Gloria, was waiting to welcome him and show him around until that one day when we can both join them. Holding you & your family in our thoughts & our prayers.
