Jack- Your strength is overwhelmingly admirable...your dedication, friendship, kindness, selflessness, time, and love that you gave to John in this last part of his life probably made him so proud to have you as his son...and all those things make you the great man, husband, brother, father, and grandfather you are to all of your family. Heather, thank you for being so good to Jack..and taking John in as your own father...I am sure you had an immense impact on his life as well as he on yours. He could not have asked for two better people to take care of him in his weakest and most distraught days. Sue...I add you as well...He will be missed but mainly remembered...and continually loved. May God continue to shower this family with his strength and love.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of John Blaze. He was a mainstay of our operation. Countless times he repaired, gave advice and direction in repairs to keep the shop running. He never refused a friend's request for information on a home repair and in fact made many repairs for his friends here at their homes, often at his own expense. He was involved in the most stimulating conversations and debates that ever took place under this roof. Well read and articulate he never lorded his knowledge over those less informed. In fact in a humourous way he allowed many to continue on in their ignorance rather than burst their bubble. He was well thought of, respected and loved in this business (and not just by the single women). He left behind more than memories he left behind excellent workmanship that will be enjoyed by generations.

Susan, Jack, Danny, Gertrude, Brandy, Jennifer, Ricky and Rick, Opa all ways said "We are a product of our experiences" how blessed you are to have shared the adventures and knowledge that contribute to who you each are today.
He was my friend, my confidante, and my adviser. In my selfishness I long for one more day with him. We all shared his frustration at the memory loss. Knowing he detested not being "on the go" or "in the midst of a job or project."
I rejoice at having been blessed with the time we shared. His advice, his wit, his sharing of his vast knowledge benefited not only me, my children and grandchildren but all who knew him. We shared a passion for the true oldies in music. Forever as I listen to Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Patsy Cline I will feel his spirit with me...especially "when I go out walking after midnight out in the moonlight".
I love you, my family

John was a very sweet and gentle man. My kids loved him dearly, he helped my mother take care of my children daily. I can remember when Connor [my son] first started walking he made John a nervous wreck. He suggested we put bumper pads on the coffee table. Through the years I got to really know John and he had such a good sense of humor with little jokes he would tell at the perfect time when I needed a good laugh. I will miss him dearly and I will cherish all the time I did have with him. My heart goes out to my step-DAD Jack and his whole family in this hard time may GOD give you the strength and peace of mind to get through this.We love and miss you John you will never be forgotten!!! Love,Stephanie

I never had the opportunity to meet John, but heard lots of wonderful things about him from my mom(Heather). It made me feel as if I did know him. I know he is surrounded by angels, being at peace with God. I am sorry for the family's loss. May the Lord Bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
God Bless you!
