My condolences to the entire family. So sad to see the last of my Mother's friends pass on. I remember the butcher shop on Central Ave. I remember all the bridge games and even casual visits back and forth, our house to theirs, and everyone baked wonderful goodies to serve.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

My father was Samuel Luke Blotner. I am always trying to find relatives. I lived in Somerville all my life and presently live in Lynn. My dad only had one sister and I don't know much about my history. Although this may seem a bit odd, I would appreciate it if someone could send me an e-mail and give me any information that you feel could assist me. My father was born and raised in Haverhill, his father's name was Max Blotner and his mother's name was Clara. His father passed when he was 5 years old. His sister's name was Edith, she was older than my father.
