John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

When my older sister told me he had died my heart felt like it had hit the ground like a bolder. I am a four years late on this, wish i would have thought of it sooner. I am so happy to see people still showing their support still. I remember goin' to IGA talkn' to him. Made me happy to see all the support for Andy. This is late I know but, my condolences go out to Mrs. Baldridge, Paige and all the rest of the Baldridge family and friends of Andy's.
And as Sgt. T. J. Jones of the Greater Cleveland Transit Police Department, Ohio said. Gone but never forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 2nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hold your family in my heart's embrace today.

Rest In Peace

I love you and miss you so much Andy. I am looking forward to our family vacation this year in "God's Country" (Lake Cumberland, KY) with all of your close friends and their families. I know it was your spot, but it will not be the same because you are not there. Please be with all of us during that emotional time.

This weekend your family embarked on a very emotional journey to DC to visit the memorial of fallen officers around the country. Sadly your name was added and although it was very emotional it is a great reminder of your passion and love for OSHP.

I thank God everyday I was able to embark on a journey with you and your love will be with me forever. You have truly made me who I am today, and I can't wait until we meet again. God gave me an amazing guardian angel, one that I know will be riding shotgun with me until we meet again <3 Love you heaps Andy, with my whole heart forever and ever!

In just a little more than 3 weeks myself, my spouse, 5 individuals from my dept and one DNR officer will be enbarking on an awesome trip. We are joining approximately 400 other officers and family members in Chesapeake VA and riding to Washington DC to the Police memorial in rememberance of Officer like your son Who gave their lifes in the line of duty to others. We are part of Law Enforcement United and each of us has been given an Officer to Honor and it is my pleasure to be riding for Trooper Andrew C. Baldridge. We are assigned the names randomly and oddly enough I am orignally from Conneaut Ohio approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes from Sandusky and I am so honored to be riding for him. I have a 20 year old son and can only image the amount of grief you must feel. I am hoping the family will be able to attend the detication of Troopers Andrew Baldridge on the Police Memorial. It would also be an Honor to be able to meet the family if possible. With condolences and deep sypathy I ride for Trooper Baldridge also with great respect and honor for his sacrifice of himself and his family.
