I did not know Bob personally, but I had the pleasure of knowing his wife Cindy, and through her knew Bob and the love they shared. He was truly a strong and remarkable person, never losing his strenghth or sense of humor thru it all. My heart aches for your loss, and my prayers are with his family. May the Good Lord guide you thru your loss and grieving. May your memories be filled with the love he had for his family, and all the laughs you shared.
God bless you all,

Sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Blodgett. Although I never had the pleasure of physically meeting him, I have had the oppurtunity to know his son Robert, a man I hold in high regard. He has ethics and values that are a reflection of his father's influence. "...for the tree is known by his fruit." Matthew 12:33. Rest in peace, job well done sir.
