1.  A Tribute to  Dr. William "Bill" Baldwin, DDS, DMin, PhD  by  Bishop Marty Patton:  Bill Baldwin, what a man he was! Everyone who ever met Bill was impressed by him, his calmness, his patience, his quick mind, his humor, his generosity, his ability to concentrate for long periods of time and the women loved his basic handsomeness! I heard Bill speak for the first time in 1987 at an ABH conference, this was the same year I met Anne Spencer of IMDHA. His talk that day was on spirits and entities that stay around after they die. Now as a Catholic I understood what he meant and as a youngster I was taught the basics of releasing souls. In fact twice a year we’d go through the church exorcizing any lost souls from the place. Bill was teaching something I knew about but didn’t totally understand how to use. He got me interested in Spirit Releasement and Past Lives. Sent me books to read, that I still have. I then took his whole class in Detroit about six months later in that class was Dr. Shakuntala Modi author of Remarkable Healings. After that I assisted Bill in a number of trainings, learning a great deal. He also was the first one to teach me Past Life Therapy. He did three back-to-back classes at Dr. Irene Hickman’s in Kirksville, MO. And I assisted in the first two. Meeting Irene also made a big change in my learning curve.

Bill at six foot-five was a strong man. Strong in conscience! Focused in his field of expertise! A pioneer in releasement and depossession of spirits and entities! Always kind and generous! Always practicing agapé love with those he worked with and those he trained. He was my friend and mentor. Since April 24, 2004 at 10PM, he has been on my mind. Rest in peace Bill and return soon to help this world.

2.  Obituary in Paper: DR. WILLIAM "BILL" BALDWIN , ADS, DMin, PhD, 65, died on Saturday, April 24, 2004 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He will be remembered by some for his deep voice, handsome face, and six-foot- five stature, but for those who knew him best, Bill will be remembered for his generosity, love, and kindness. Born in Los Angeles, CA, Bill lived in Southern California until moving to Enterprise, FL in November of 1991. Following a career in dentistry, Bill became a pastoral counselor and later earned a doctorate in psychology. He was a research pioneer in the field of dissociative states, including the process known as Spirit Releasement Therapy and, as a result, he was a featured speaker at symposia and mental health conferences all over the world. Bill authored several books including "Spirit Releasement Therapy: A Technique Manual" and "Healing Lost Souls", as well as textbooks and tapes for professional counselors. With his beloved wife, partner, and soul- mate, Judith, he conducted a successful counseling and training practice in Volusia County. In addition to his wife, Bill is survived by his children Wendy Whitefoord, Mark Baldwin, Terri Loge, Lisa Starks, and Chuck Davis, as well as seven grandchildren. A memorial service will be held for family and friends Friday, April 30, 2004 at Cocoa Beach. Judith will be continuing Bill's work in Enterprise after Mid May!
