Austin,Lucy and family. It is with deep shock and sadness to hear of Blandford’s passing. I remember getting together with Blandford on some of my visits home and enjoying our little music gigs. He loved playing the guitar and talking about family events. He will be dearly missed but not forgotten. Please take solace in remembering all the good times you had together as a family. Rest in peace, my friend.
