To the Editor:

Meredith and I would like to thank family, friends, and the community for all their love and support for the passing of our father, Buzz Blankenship. Though we are both in shock at times, it is great to know how many lives were touched by Buzz. There will be a formal announcement in the spring, but a celebration of life is planned for Sunday, June 26, 2106, at the East Chop Beach Club from 5 to 8 pm. Thank you.

Meredith Aldrich, Beth O’Connor
