Dear Mrs. Blockinger, Lori, Rick & the entire Blockinger family,
I was saddened by the news of the passing of Mr. Blockinger. I have nothing but great memories of "Mr. B" and will always appreciate his endless generosity, humor and great committment to family and friends. He made me feel like a part of the family from the first day we met and I will always be thankful that I had the great honor to meet him and get to know him. He will be missed but not forgotten and leaves behind a tremendous legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Ken & Susan Heydt

Pat, Our sincere condolances on Jim's passing. We always had fun when we worked together, and who would believe that we wound up on the same case for jury duty! Please send our condolences to Lori (toad) and Rick (toad). We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Pat, we were so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. What a wonderful guy. We feel blessed to have worked with Jim on our crusade against the power company and to have seen the passion and humor that he obviously lived by, in his all too short life. Know that you are in our prayers. Dennis & Margaret Moran

I will miss Jim's wit and wisdom and he was just a all around good person. We all at Castings USA, Inc. will miss him.

Pat and all your children and grandchildren,
I'm so very sorry to hear that Jim has passed, but I know he is no longer in pain. I didn't know him well in high school, but I've learned a little about him recently through e-mails, and I know you and he had a very special marriage and I'm glad I discovered another wonderful BPHS Class of '58 alum. I hope your memories of Jim will give you pause to remember the best things you had together forever.
