So saddened by the news of your passing today grandpa Blamble. I heard the news while I was at our favorite lunch restaurant Seven Dragons. I hadn't seen you the past few time I went there and thought of you each time. Today our grand daughter Hadleigh told me the sad news when we were there. I will miss seeing and visiting with you. I hope you are resting peacefully.
