Tom Foley wrote a sympathy message

“Mr Blake I met in 2nd grade in the 60’s when my mom and dad moved up from the city. He always had a helping hand for the kids in the park and I was one of them. He told me in 3rd grade that I would be somebody. Many years later I saw him in St Mary’s church and he tapped me on the shoulder. We shared briefly that I have a great family and accomplishments and asked how he was doing. He shook my hand and told me Tom I remember telling you you would be somebody and you are. RIP Mr. Blake…Tom Foley”
