On September 7, 2012, surrounded by family, Al ended his courageous battle with cancer. Age 77 years. Beloved husband of 55 years to Barbara Baldyga. Al is survived by his three children: Richard (Cristina) Baldyga of San Francisco, CA, Jeffrey (Stacey) Baldyga of Exton, PA, Deborah (Jay) Hodshon, of Cary NC, and two brothers Henry of Voorhees and Edward of Burlington. He was predeceased by his brother Benjamin and sister Irene. Al was blessed with 6 grandchildren, Jennifer (20), Michael (16), Cole (16), Spencer (14), Regan (11), Rachael, (4). Al was born in Camden, NJ. He met his wife Barbara on a blind date while serving in the U.S. Navy. They moved to Cherry Hill, where Al worked many years in construction before running his own TCBY store. Al and Barb retired and moved to"Sun City" South Carolina. There they celebrated many happy years with friends traveling, wood working, crabbing with his grandkids, gardening, playing cards, and volunteering in numerous groups including "Marines Toys for Tots", with the retired Vets while continuing to enjoy their retired years together with their family. Al enjoyed cruising the world with his wife, family trips with all the kids, and enjoyed collecting the winning pots of card money with his "sis" Audrey.Those who knew Al, always waited for the laughter, life and love he brought to them. A private church service will be held for immediate family only. Al donated his body to science for future generations.

    Barbara and family: Carol and I are so saddened at the loss of Al. He was a true friend and helper in need. Many a laugh we had at upbeats, dances, dinners and shows. We will always remember his laugh, smile and loveing nature. I have tears now as I view his photo. I know that your loss is great but God will see you all thru this time of sadness. Remember Al is smiling down on his family and wants the tears to dry up and just have joy. We all miss him. With deepest sympathy, Larry & Carol

    To the Baldyga Family, I am sorry for your loss. I send my condolences to you and yours. The Bible makes it clear that God did not originally intend for humans to die. Have you ever wondered why we grow old and die? Some sea turtles live for hundreds of years. Certain trees have lived for thousands of years. But humans live just 70 or 80 years and then die. Have you wondered why? As the Bible explains: "Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men." Romans 5:12. After sin and death entered the world, God revealed that it was his purpose that the dead be restored to life by means of a resurrection. Yes, Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect persons whom he chooses. Jesus Christ himself said: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." John 5:28&29; and also Acts 24:15 says: "That there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." May Jehovah God and Jesus Christ be with you and your Family?

    Dear Debbie, I am so sorry to hear this news. You and your whole family are in my thoughts. My prayer is that heavy hearts will lighten over time with the wonderful memories you have of your father. He had to be an amazing man - just look at the daughter and grandchildren he has. I love you!!!

    Dear Debbie and Family, I am so sorry to hear that your dad has passed on. Cancer is an awful disease that unfortunately is too common these days. Debbie, I know how close you were with your dad, and I know only too well what you are going through. There are no words that will take the pain away as he was your daddy...the man that loved you unconditionally...the man that you went to with your secrets and happy news. He was the person that gave you his shoulder to cry on...that lifted you up when you felt so knocked down. Only time and happy memories will ease the pain that you are going through now. I find comfort in knowing my dad is with his mom and dad now...and too many of his other family and friends...and with God. Selfishly, I want him here, but he is at peace and is smiling all the time...looking down on us. Our dads are now our Guardian Angels! 🙂 Big hugs to you and your family... Hang in there...your dad wants to see you smiling and celebrating his life. If we don't do that, our dads will think they didn't do their jobs! Love you!! xoxo Dana
