Mr. Blount was one of the nicest person I have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and a good heart.
I had worked with him when he drove a bus for Suffolk Public Schools. As a dispatcher I could always count on him to help out for extra runs.
He will certainly be missed.
Praying for the family in these difficult times.
