Sadly, we knew this was coming, but it is still very sad to lose a very nice man and at an age that is too young. Blaine took a chance on me and hired me to work his league before I worked HS varsity ball. I will always remember him for his foresight and kindness.
If you never had a chance to know Blaine, you missed out. I loved his stories about refereeing. He was "big time" in his day. He worked in most of the major venues in the US. Our local refereeing community will miss him.
Funeral services are set for Saturday, March 16 at 11am at the Burch Creek 7th Ward Chapel, 5640 South 850 East, Ogden, UT.
