I'm sorry to hear the loss of Mr Blankinship. Mr B as I was known to call him. My time with him at lackland afb from late 80 to early 90 while stationed there was educational and fun. He taught me all about the military justice system as I was fresh from technical school. He was a fine and blessed man. He is surely missed by his family and friends. One last time "thank you again Mr. B." GOD BLESS.

Romanko and I were classmates at Independence High School. Didn't know he was in Texas. He will be missed.

Mr. Blankinship was a regular substitute teacher for my school and I will always remember him as a jovial man who loved to tell jokes and puns to staff and students alike. My fellow teachers and I will miss him.

Romanko was my first cousin. He and Patrick visited us in Kansas last year and we had a wonderful time sharing memories. He was such a happy person, loving father and enjoyed his retirement with the students. Romanko was so intelligent and caring of others. We will miss him terribly. We are remembering his family in our thoughts and prayers. Marvin & Bunny Blankinship
