To the family and friends of Vince Blaskovich
Teachers affect eternity; Vince and Pam were both my favorite teachers and probably never knew where their influence stopped or if it ever did. So many of us have vivid memories of some teachers that stick with us years later. We might not always remember that the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is equal to the square of the opposite two sides, but we remember the way a good teacher inspired us and influenced us. We remember the time they spent preparing us so we could earn a living and the way they shaped our lives so we too could marry and earn enough to raise children.
My deepest sympathy to the Blaskovich family. I was a student of your Mom and Dad back in the fifties and sixties. Vince was the greatest teacher I ever had. He had a passion for the students that shined brightly and made you want to be the best student you could be. I also remember the hundreds of hours he spent hauling me around the Okanagan to compete in speaking and debating contests as he recognized I wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer so he helped me develop a speaking style and gave me confidence that I could earn a living and raise a family . He was certainly a special person. He was eminently fair, honest to the point of bluntness, ever helpful, but would brook no nonsense that would disrupt his classroom routine. Vince was a teacher who taught from the heart. He made you believe that you were important and gave you the confidence every day to believe in yourself. As he would remind us, the door swings both ways' and I am a better person for having known him. I felt successful and accomplished because of his support and confidence in me. He was a brilliant teacher and I look back in gratitude because he changed me. May God bless and keep you in peace as you mourn your loss. Your Dad and Mom will always hold a special place in my heart even though a piece of it is now missing.
With love, Rolly Hein
