Blase has been my friend since 1969. I have so many great memories of Blase, there isn’t enough space in this post. We were teammates in grade school and high school. We attended college together and lived on the same floor in Scott Hall at UW-Oshkosh. That photo captured his smile perfectly! He was one-of-a-kind, and I will surely miss him. But his story isn’t over. Blase loved Jesus, and our Lord decided that after 63 years it was time to bring him home. So I look forward to the day when I will be reunited with Blase. What a celebration that will be!
