Blaine passed away peacefully at home on March 25th, surrounded by friends and family, at the age of 63.
Although he was living in Delaware, his heart and true home were always in Sussex County, New Jersey, where he spent over 30 years working hard and raising his family.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Carole Tomlin; his son, Blaine Tomlin Jr. (LB); and his two cherished grandchildren, Jaxson Tomlin and Gia Thomas. He is also survived by his sisters, Chrissy Benanti and Tracey Chimileski; his brothers, Patrick Murphy and Scott Carlo; and by his "Outlaws", Christine Tomlin, Tony Benanti, Tom Chimileski, and Linda West.
Blaine was preceded in death by his mom, Barbara Appel; his brothers, Kelly Tomlin and Randy Tomlin; and his sister, Maryann Carlo.
He leaves behind many nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved deeply and enjoyed spending time with.
A celebration of Blaine's life will be held in the near future in his hometown in New Jersey. Additional details regarding time and location will be shared soon.
In lieu of flowers or donations, Blaine would love you all to honor him in a simple way: Tell a joke, Play a prank, and Have a beer with someone!
