Donald Blaser Obituary

Blaser, Donald Lloyd
Donald Lloyd Blaser, 91, died peacefully on Friday morning April 15, 2011 at home. Don was a loving husband and adored, devoted "Daddy" and will be greatly missed by his five Favorite daughters Karen, Dusti, Sally, Tonia and Meghan, 9 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Don created and successfully operated Don's Sharpening Service for 53 years. He was a life time member of the NRA and he loved his backyard auto mechanics. Private services will be held for family and friends. We love you, Daddy, and although we will miss you, we are all glad you are now "free" to explore. Memorial contributions to be made in lieu of flowers can be sent in Donald's name to the National Rifle Association (NRA)

We were so fortunate to be on Don's route and to get to know him....what a nice soul he was. He took great pride in the work he did: if he couldn't sharpen one of our knives or tools to his satisfaction, he would rummage around the back of his station wagon and find a replacement! We know his loving family will miss his presence............and so will many other families who shared a small part of his life. Marianne & Ozzie Sattler, Phoenix

We will truly miss his 2 times a year visits in North Central. He always kept our knives sharp and was so professional in his manner. Was wondering where he was and was hoping he would come back. Our sympathy to his loving family and just know that we admired and appreciated him.

We never knew Don's last name. Only knew when his white station wagon was in our North Central neighborhood that our knives would be SHARP! We will miss him, our knives and lives will be duller without him. with sympathy,
Posey and John Nash
