Blake was one of my mentors early in my career. His insights, professionalism, and wit have influenced me to the present. Just 3 weeks ago I was trading Blake stories with an old colleague: stories of admiration and respect for his skills. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Blake, especially to Mary. When Blake came to Hawaii to help some Polynesian farmers to grow taro in a complex world, it was clear his heart was big enough for all peoples, and he was very grounded. It was also clear from his tone of voice and frequent references that Mary was never further from his heart than his right hand was, and was just as familiar and important.
He helped the farmers and I many years ago, and he helped me again a decade ago by sharing his knowledge, which was vast. We are better off having known him, and I am grateful the Lord saw fit for us to cross paths. May He see that you all have each other for support, and share the good memories and love that are apparent in the photos.
Me ke Aloha,
Richard

Mary
My condolences to you and your family on Blake's passing. It was a pleasure working with him during his days with the National Wetlands Inventory. He was the one who introduced me to soils (not dirt) and their value in helping identify wetlands and their boundaries. I made good use of this information over the past 40+ years. Blake was such a likeable person.
Best wishes
Ralph
