Alexander Joseph Baldini, Jr.

Alexander Joseph Baldini, Jr. 1944-2024  was affectionately known by those who loved him as “Speedy.”  He was born in Nashville Tennessee the son and first born of Clare Evelyn Binkley of Goodlettsville Tennessee. He was the beloved brother of Anthony Baldini, Rosie Williams, Rubye Dieu, Minnie “Toots” Griffey (deceased), Mary Jane Hoy and Jera Lea Dieu. He is survived by his two children a son,  Alexander Joseph Baldini, III and daughter Andrea Quigley.

He lived in Tennessee, Alabama, California, Pennsylvania and Yuma, AZ. He served in the 25th Infantry of the U.S. Army in Vietnam 1963-1965.  He could always ‘Out hunt and Out fish’ anyone! He loved playing board games and was a great card player who used his skills and deception to win! And he most often did! He loved to sing Karaoke and his favorite songs were “I’m a Girl Watcher” from the 1960’s and “Remember When” by AIan Jackson.

His 80 years on earth he still had that wonderful twinkle in his eyes and that mischievous grin that let him get away with things nobody else ever could. 
Growing up, we all have so many fun memories and stories that endeared him to all of us.  We hold them in our hearts and cherish every one of them.  You will always be the loving son and ‘Big Brother’ who loved and did your best to protect all of us.

You lived your life just like the song “I Did it My Way” A powerful story that reflects the life of someone who has lived his own way, with all the ups and downs and choices that come with it.

He loved his mama so very much. As per his wishes he will be cremated wrapped in the beautiful quilt she hand-stitched for him. RIP Alex, you were dearly loved and you will be missed by your family and friends.

Revelation 21:4 in the Bible states, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away".
