It is with great sadness that I learned of Blaine’s passing today. Growing up Blaine was my best friend even sharing my first apartment with him. He was my best man at my wedding and while we lost touch over the years, he always took time to call me and my spouse on our significant milestones. There were many memories that we shared, including Pecker which I gave to him. He alway had a smile and was genuinely happy all the time. My condolences to Rose and family, he was a very good man. Fly high Mr Fly, till we meet again.

We were sad to hear of Blaine's passing. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and colleagues. We have known Blaine for many years as a customer of Wacker Neuson were he worked. He was always a great guy to deal with both professional as well as personal. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

Rose and family, I am so sorry for your loss! Blaine was a very special person! Big huggs to you all. He will be missed. Xxx Kris Anderson

My sincerest condolences to Rose and family. I had the pleasure and honor to work with Blaine for the past 8 years. Blaine brought so much joy and laughter to everyone around him with his bright spirit and infectious laughter. His kindness and humor made a lasting impact on everyone around him. He was always looking out for others and his loyalty and determination were inspiring. He will be deeply missed.

I met Blaine for the first time in a Product Training course around 2007, he made extra effort to help me understand the equipment and the application of the equipment. He was the single most happy and kind person I have ever met. My interactions with him over the years have always been incredible! His work ethic, loyalty, and friendship over the years have been cherished by not only me, but every person he interacted with. My thoughts and prayers are with Blaine’s family and friends, and you have my most sincere sympathy during this difficult time. Blaine will be remembered by all as the amazing person he was and we are all better for having the pleasure and honor to have him in our lives.

I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to Rose and the family. Blaine and I worked together over that last few years. When I would receive a call from him, his contagious laugh would always brighten my day. He will be greatly missed from all of us at Wacker Neuson.

On behalf of the staff at Wacker Neuson, we extend sincere condolences to the family of Blaine. Many of us worked with Blaine for years or decades (he celebrated 40 years at Wacker Neuson last December). He was a trusted, loyal employee and friend to many. He was one of the most consistently upbeat people I have ever known. His cheery demeanor will be dearly missed at our office in Calgary and throughout our organization. He was one of a kind.

I had the pleasure to work with Blaine at Wacker Neuson as a member of the IT team. We would talk when there were issues with technology and his "easy going" attitude would brighten the day. I had several opportunities to meet Blaine and he always enjoyed the work that he did and had many talents that allowed him to be successful in life and at his job. He will be missed by many and I wish the family sincere prayers and sympathy during this time as you celebrate joyful life and spirit.

My condolences to Rose and family, was honored to know Blain and had a great time with him as a groomsman at Stewarts and Tanyas wedding, God bless . HSE

I still remember the day I met Blaine, Judy and Johnny joined the pool league and I tagged along to watch, the whole group were so fun and Lorne was giving us big hugs by the end of the night and Blaine said that’s just the way it is with that group and we knew instantly that Judy and Johnny found a great group of people. You’ll be dearly missed Blaine, so happy you were able to come to our stampede party last month when we know you were dealing with terrible pain. May you be enjoying a Pilsner and shooting some great pool in the hereafter.
