A little bit of Rotary has been lost today with the passing of a fellow Rotarian George K. Baldwin ...


George K. Baldwin, 90, a fellow Rotarian, who served as Sgt. of Arms and who was extremely active in our Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids Fellowship Committee passed away on Saturday, while receiving hospice care, according to The Gazette print edition today. His obituary ...

George represented the Rotary motto "Service Above Self" very well. He was a prince of a man, who I deeply enjoyed visiting with each and every meeting, since he often served as one of our club's greeters.

My maternal grandfather worked with George. We enjoyed a couple of visits discussing the days of Armstrong's Department Store, which both George and my grandfather were active, until their respective retirements.
