Hey Blaise,
We haven't forgotten you. You are always close to us. We finally smartened up and went with a new company. I have my own car now, and it makes me think of you even more- thinking I wish we could run together.
Big news- Scott and I got married in January. You can stop laughing now.
Talk to you soon.
Love
Jeanette & Scott

I have been doing your job for you lately escorting Scott, and I find myself thinking of you. We made the same run that you did the last trip and I was amazed by the beauty. You always loved the out of the way routes and boy was that one out of the way. I am really missing your calls just to tell me what things you had done now or what you had found for a great deal on e-bay.
Scott and I are going to sponsor this Guest Book in the hopes that Brenden and all of Blaise's friends and family will come here to talk to Blaise and forever keep his memory and laughter alive.
Brenden-If you ever need anything just give us a call.Tel#: 603-239-8672 or Scott's Cell 603-721-9670.

While we were reading The Daily Star on line from our home here in Florida we were saddened to learn of Blaise passing on . We only knew him from having sold him our home on Lockwood Hill and from our occassional summer visit. Although we normally dropped by unannounced he always stopped what he was doing and took the time to once again make us feel at home in our old home. May God multiply the weight of his good deeds and gurantee his safety. Amen

Our deepest sympathy. We were very sorry to read of his passing. Dave worked with Blaise at Whipples in Sidney years ago. He would always come home with the little stories of what Blaise did. I remember when Dave had our young son there for a few hours that Blaise told Tim that it would be great for him to bring home a bag of stones so that is what Tim did. He went out in the yard to collect those special stones. Blaise was sure that they came home with him. Blaise was one of those people great to work with.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
