Kenneth P. Blanchette

Ken was kind, humble, thoughtful, unselfish and willing to stay in the background always giving credit to the athletes. We covered countless games together, did pre-season interviews and often shared notes, game results, etc. As a mentor, he guided me through meetings with coaches after a difficult loss. “You have to report it whether it was a good win or a tough loss,” he reminded me. Despite working for different newspapers, Ken and I formed a unique bond.

So sad to hear Ken one of the nicest guys I ever met. Great athlete.God bless.
