To the Blanchard Family,

We are sorry of your Dads passing. He was an important part of your family, as our father Rudi Goldbacher had been. Both Mom, and Dad passed in 2009. Mom, Jan. 31st, and Dad Feb. 3rd. Living on Hawthorne St. If I remember right Suzanne, and I went to school together. He will always be remembered. Sincerely, Ilse, Chris, and Rudy (Goldbacher)

To the Blanchard Family,
John was my medical school classmate and anatomy lab partner. There are few of us still alive. I always admired his dedication to his family and the humility which he showed while acting with excellence. Practicing in different Health Systems we only saw each other a few times yearly, but I always felt the continued companionship with John. He will be long remembered by those fortunate enough to have known him.

My prayers are with you all during this time of loss for your family. I had the privilege of working with Dr. Blanchard when he partnered George Fox Univeristy's education department to provide training for teachers in Christian schools for students with learning disabilities. What an honor it was to learn from him, and witness his passion for helping others first hand.

To the Blanchard family,
I read your dad's obituary. What a lovely tribute to him. My dad, Jim Billings was a colleague of your dad's. They shared a similar path in life and interests, so I am not surprised that my dad recommended yours to be my mom's doctor. They both had a lot of confidence in him and appreciated his caring manner. I remember when my mom found out your dad was retiring. She was really at a loss because she had been a patient of his for so many years. Now so many...

Dear Cynthia, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You had a wonderful father and I know that he will be missed. He certainly had a good, long life and you and your family will have many happy memories to fill that void in your hearts. Take care and know that you are thought of at this time.

Barb, Suzi, Cindy. I am so sorry to hear about you dad. It seems he always had that same smile as we were growing up, and when I ever saw him in later years. He was always there for my dad before john retired. My mom, and I was always grateful for that. Well he beat us to the line where you can get the best cinnamon rolls on the eastside of town once again. It appears Both your Mom, and Dad were Blessed!
