| Gerald Leighton "Jerry" BALDWIN Even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to the sea. Born July 12, 1927 in San Francisco. Died Feb. 22, 2006 at home in Seattle surrounded by loving family and friends. Cherished by his wife, Jo, sons Jerry (companion, Beth), Philip (Kasha) and daughters, Leslie Drinkovic (Damir), Lindsay Elliott (Lauren) and Lori Baldwin, also grandchildren, Frankey, Julian, Niko and Sophia. Jerry embraced his life of golfing, reading, walking on the beach and in the park, enjoying music, caring for creatures, great and small and philosophizing with friends and family. There will be no service at his request but a Celebration of his Life will be held at a later time (he'd really rather we all go golfing).
