Please accept my deepest condolences. Unfortunately, I know first hand
how terrible it is to bury one's child. May the fact that he was a good
guy and admired by many here, be of some small comfort to you in your grief.

Blake *was* one cool dude! I always enjoyed his posts and witty
responses to certain people who debated him here.

Thank you so much for posting that! I expect this was in facebook or
something. I don't have have and had no way to express my deep condolences
and
warmest wishes for his family. Please could you do that for me?

He was a lovely man.

What she said. I always got a laugh out of Blake, he had a way
of coming up with some unexpected one liner. He was a good guy
and I really miss him. Figures he'd have a family nice enough to
get back to his online friends. Thank you so much.

Consider posting a tribute on the Guestbook part of Blake's online
obituary, as many of his internet friends seem to have done. (Using
those names as clues, I was able to find it on legacy.com)
