John G Blaha

John Blaha, 68, passed away on May 23, 2024 at home with his wife and children at his side. John went home to be with the Lord after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Despite this, he never lost his faith, optimism or love for his family and friends.

John graduated from Bedford High School in Bedford, Ohio and worked as an orderly to put himself through Cleveland State University earning a BBA in accounting, becoming a CPA. His business talent and love of life and people took him around the world, living in Europe for a time with his family. The Blaha's arrived in Plymouth, MA in 1989.
