Blainey was the best neighbor and dearest friend rolled into one that we ever had. Blaine was a good and humble man who took great loving care when Fran took ill and then again when his son did without a single complaint. He devoted his life to friends and family. You can rest now, Blainey. You’re with Fran & Kevin now. You did a great job. We’ll see you when our times come. Love you much. The Nagels Kevin, Joyce, Kayleigh & Hannah
Blainey and I worked together at Calgon for most of our time employed there. You couldnt have asked for a better co worker or friend. He was the rock of his family. Before retiring Blaine and I ran the receiving dept for Nalco corp. years. He was one of my Best friends, we even road motorcyles together for many fund raisers . I picked him up two months ago and took him to Nalco retirees breakfast, which he enjoyed very much. we had made plans to go and visit him in june, but he left us before then. I learned that plan it and do it right away, cause life can take you at any time. so Blainey now you can spend time again with Fran and Kevin , with all of you out of pain. Love and will Miss you buddi.enjoy your time now with your family again.Darcy I am saying prayers that you can a least enjoy his memories.
