Blazer was a great guy who will be missed by all who knew him. I became friends with him many years ago at the Braintree Moose Lodge, where he was a longtime member. RIP my friend

Whenever I think of my cousin Paul I will always remember how much he loved life and family. I especially connect him with the tradition of Mushroom Sunday at my brother Paul's house. I pray that he is now at peace.
