We all loved Mr Blakely at Community Drugstore! He was so nice, so soft-spoken, such a gentle man. I loved delivering his meds to him and running into him at our shared dry cleaners! He truly was an amazing man. It may have been small ways, but it really meant a lot to others for his caring and kindness.

Joe and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I knew your daddy before I even knew you. My mother and daddy knew him from the funeral home. We loved him so much. He was such a soft spoken kindhearted man. Many prayers and much love to you and all those who loved him.
