Not sure what to say?

Bigger than life, positive attitude and dignified in actions.... this defines a truly special human being who changed the world for the better! So generous with his time in helping others succeed! RIP Dick... already missed by many

Dick and I shared many rounds of golf, stories and a Manhatten or two at Palm Aire C.C. He is already missed.

Until we meet again, Here's to you my friend.

Mr. Blake was one of a kind and a true servant of all who crossed his path. An outstanding husband to lovely Vera and a wonderful father to his 4 children. And a great first boss who taught me so much about the world of work. I feel honored to call him friend. God Bless all the Blakes...you will carry your Dad in the palm of your hand until you meet him again. Peace and Prayers.

Dick and I have been friends for 66 years. We met in Bexley High School and it was during those years that I got to know his family and they took me in as one of their own. I was privileged to introduce Dick and Vera at Miami University while we were students and they took it from there. We share a lifetime of good memories. I will miss the big guy. Goodbye, friend until we meet again.
