Carol, so sorry to hear about Blake. He was a memorable Mt Forest character.

— Blair Francis, June 16, 2011

Blake was someone that always had a smile, a story and something to say about how proud he was of his family. Having known Blake since the days back on Egremont and Durham Sts. we had been on a few adventures together. Memories of Blake will come back every time his friends see his family. Words cant describe the loss that his family has suffered and now we will begin the mourning of such a good friend, father, sibling and son. Safe trip Blake and I hope someday to see you again on the other side. Your friend for life. Dave
