Blake Richard Tahran

Mr.Blake was my across the street neighbor my entire childhood. I remember the block parties fondly and he is definitely one of the reasons I grew up with thick skin with his witty self! I always saw the other dad's of the neighborhood as one of my dad's and Mr.Blake was no exception. Between asking him or Matt to come over and get a snake from our yard, playing with Ally their dog, or taking all the Japanese plums from his front yard Mr.Blake was a staple in our neighborhood. He even fixed a beloved bracelet for me after a rude girl at school picked on me for it and pulled on it, breaking it. It was a halloween charm bracelet I wore all the time. I was so excited when he have it back. Good as new. Though I moved from the neighborhood on Timberlake Drive I know my dad really valued his friendship with Mr. Blake and his company. We will miss him greatly. Yours truly, Julia Jones and the Jones family.
