    Blaine you are still in my daily thoughts, the World Series was not the same without your perspective, I still look to see how Michigan State played on Saturday. Our friendship left me many, many great memories...from the early days years ago at the Doubletree Hotel where you mentored me and helped me get my first promotion as a GM...to that wonderful baseball game this past August when your Phillies beat the Nationals in Nationals Park in DC. I am forever thankful for your friendship thru the years. Peace my friend.

    Blaine was my boss, my colleague, my mentor and my friend. His friendship and leadership changed my life for the better and we were friends for 40 years. I love him very much. His energy and contagious laugh will be missed.
