I so sorry to hear of Blaine´s passing. Unfortunately after trying to reach him unsuccessfully on several occasions I found out today online of his passing. I met him through his mother who befriended me and my mother after I moved to Cumberland RI. He was always so nice, calling my mother on a regular basis to check on her. Then calling me regularly to follow up on Mother´s health. He was a gem.
