For a life-long friend…RIP
Andrea, Holly, & Sally We are so sorry to hear about your Dad.
In loving memory,
Many memories of our fun times with Blaine over the years…..think of him often, especially when we are out in Hiawatha area. Dave was also a sheet metal worker for many years. Sorry we cannot attend the service Wednesday but, since we just heard about his death today, we cannot change our schedule to attend. Please know that the family will be in our thoughts & prayers.
Thank you for your kind words of my Dad
One of our best memories is of a “camping” trip up to Monica’s parent’s place up near Guttenberg many years ago. We got to stay inside and it was just a thoroughly enjoyable weekend with bonfires, smores, trout fishing and LOTS of good food and companionship. Also had a GREAT time one New Year’s Eve when we partied at their home in Hiawatha and stayed overnight….had an awesome breakfast the next morning. Those are just a couple of memories of Blaine from over the years. Your dad was a wonderful man and a very kind soul.
So many great memories over the years with Blaine! He always was pleasant to be around even though some of the places we worked in were total crap holes !! 😀 RIP buddy, your sheetmetal brothers are going to miss you!!
Thank you.He loved his job! Sincerely,Blaine’s daughters
In loving memory of our dad. You will be forever in our hearts. We love you
Blaine was the love of my life. I never met another man like him, and never felt as loved and cherished as he made me feel. The Lord brought Blaine to me when I had health issues and he was there to get me through the derachio storm last summer. In turn I brought him back to his faith in Christ and was there to take care of him until the end of his life on earth. so happy you are with Christ and no longer in pain. With all my love.
