I am so sorry for your loss. I went to St. Joe's with Kevin and he was always a kind person. I appreciated that immensely.

To all of the Blaskie family - please accept my sympathy on the passing of Kevin. It was such sad news - especially with Kevin being so very young. I have happy memories growing up on north 8th street with the Blaskie and Sponsler families. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Kevin was a man of fine wit. I was so happy to get to know him better as an adult. He will be very much missed and my heart goes out to his family.
