He was born May 31, 1957, in Prestonsburg, Ky., to A.J. and Eva Marie Riffith Baldridge.

He married Karen K. Robinson on Nov. 22, 1982. She survives.

He worked at Dalton Foundry Inc., Warsaw, for 42, years retiring in May 31, 2019.

Stan enjoyed being outdoors, fishing and riding his motorcycle. Although he was stoic and reserved, people knew he cared about them. He was family oriented and proud of what he had, because he worked hard for everything he did have. He would often work 12-14 hour days at Dalton’s and come home to work on the farm. He was a handy man that could fix anything and a great husband, dad and grandpa. He didn’t have to, but he would step up and help those in need.

The family has entrusted McKee Mortuary with final arrangements.

Stan is survived by son, Jeremy (Mellissa) Cox, Wabash; daughter, Karie (Michael) Bruder, North Manchester; brothers, Gary (Merry) Baldridge, Claypool; Jack (Dana) Baldridge, Palestine; sister, Phyllis (Tim) Evans, Disco; brother-in-law, Jeff Harper; sister-in-law, Reese (Mark) Morris; and three grandchildren.
