My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this time. I worked many years ago with Emory at First Federal Savings and Loan. I have thought of him many times over the years remembering his smiles and having the time to share a story about his kids or grandkids. When I worked with Emory my name was Kendra Sigman. Again my prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Baldwin&s passing. I was able to spend time with Emory back in 2007 & 2008 when he was exploring the possibilities of moving to GreenTree at West Lafayette. I really enjoyed talking with him and learning about the history of Lafayette. Emory was a very pleasant man who will be missed by all.
