Mr. Blasko held a very special place in many hearts. He always had a smile and a very warm, loving voice. I always loved the visits from him and Pat, and enjoyed the hugs and words of love and wisdom. I will always hold him in my heart. My prayers are with his family and especially his daughter Pat. I thank God for the opportunity to have been blessed knowing Mr. Blasko and Pat. He will never be forgotton.
