John David Blanchard

Dear, Mark, Karen and Susan, We are very sorry to hear about your loss. We will be thinking about you.

Dr. "B" was not only a superior dentist, he was a wonderful human being. He was my dentist for nearly 20 years, and my mom also worked for him for several years. He always had a bright smile, kind word, or funny story to tell. He truly lit up the room with his vivaciousness. After I moved away from home, my friends and co-workers thought it unusual that I'd drive 2+ hours round trip for a dental appt. I'd just say "you've never met Dr. B". What a truly wonderful, generous person he was....

Linda and Family,
What a great shock to learn about Johnny this afternoon. We are at a loss for words but will always remember John's easy smile and all the laughter and good times during visits over our 37 years of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you tonight, tomorrow, and the weeks to come.

Dear Linda, Mark, Susan and baby Karen...
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Johnny will truly be missed, but his memories will live on forever in the hearts of so many he's touched. My prayers and sympathies are with you all during this painful time.
Sincerely,

Dear Linda, Mark, Susan and Karen,

I don't think I could ever properly express the over whelming sadness and emptiness that will be felt by his "work family". I know it pales in comparison to what you all are feeling, but please know we are all here for all of you, and are praying for you. He will always be remembered as the funny, generous, caring, outstanding father, grandfather and boss who ever graced my life.

Linda,
Dan called me as soon as he read about John in The Atlanta Journal. We are so shocked and so saddened by this untimely loss. I contacted Claudette, and she in turn will contact Joy. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you and your children. It is so sad to know that you, my dear college roommate and friend, are experiencing such a great loss. May God comfort you and your family, and give you the strength and courage for the days and months ahead.

Linda...

We were shocked and saddened to hear about Dr. Blanchard. He was our dentist for 30 years and we will miss him very much. He was a kind, good man and our sympathy and prayers are with all of his family and office staff.

Dear Linda and family,

Our family wants to offer our deepest sympathy. Dr. Blanchard was our family dentist for many years when we lived in Clayton County. We will always remember him for his friendliness and great care. Our daughter continued using him until she, too, moved ten years ago. He will be greatly missed by many people. Our prayers will be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Linda and Family:Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your loving husband and father. John's contributions to our community well-known, but his support of the Fayette CARE Clinic, however, is less so.The Clinic gives free medical and dental care to Fayette's many working, uninsured residents. John freely gave his time, skills and gentleness to dental patients badly in need of care and with nowhere to turn. He exemplified compassion and sought no personal recognition for...
