Robert G. Baldwin
Oceanport - Robert G. Baldwin, 73, devoted Long Branch boy, son of Agnes Esposito and Irving Benjamin Baldwin passed away early on April 1st. Bob loved the Jersey Shore, his extended family, Janice's chicken pie, New Jersey Pork Roll, good food, Ohio State Football and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Bob loved being the catcher on the baseball team coached by his father. He earned a baseball scholarship to Wittenberg University where he spent four of his favorite years and earned a BS in Political Science. Later he completed his Master's at Fairleigh Dickinson. He served two years of active service in the U.S. Army with an honorable discharge and spent 41 years with the N.J. Department of Labor working a variety of roles and retiring as Assistant Director. Bob also enjoyed golfing and fishing with friends and relatives. When alone, he loved reading extensively and following the stock market.

He will be missed by his life-long friends Keith, Marc, Steve, Laurie, Henry, Greg, Paul, Don, John, and Bill; his Trenton work buddies; his care giver Lisa Karpus; and others too numerous to name.
