    went back a long time in their friendship.

    Prayers for you, Lorraine and all of the family.

  7. Dennis and I send our deepest sympathies to you, Lorraine, and the girls. Andy went back a long way with dad in their friendship. I still remember the times we used to swim at your place when we were little. God bless all of you, he and your family will be in our prayers.

  8. All our love to the Blazic family. Your Dad and husband was one of my law enforcement role models when I was young. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for me and my family. One of the “good ones”, he will be missed by all. Our prayers are with you. Mike & Judy

  9. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I’m very pleased when I see somebody that has lived such a long and fulfilling life such as Andrew has lived. But it makes me wonder why man has to die at all. Be assured, God gives us his personal promise found in the Bible at Revelation 21:4, where he tells us that very soon he will do away with death and sickness from the Earth forever, and then he will resurrect Andy to perfect life here on Earth, surrounded by family and friends, which has always been God’s purpose for mankind and for the Earth.
