Stephen Blanding

Stephen was a man I got to know after BV Lock did a good deal of work on our home restoration in 2003 and buying his daughter's car in 2005. I always felt I had a friend who would warmly greet me any time I stopped into his work place. He always had a warm smile, a friendly word and a ready laugh. Knowing now just how ill he was makes his positive attitude that much more remarkable. His loss will be felt by many people who got to know him. Very sorry for your immense loss. Lanny Hanscom
