So very saddened to hear of Blaine’s passing. We were just thinking about the Farr family this weekend as we attended my (Cindy) 45th class reunion where our old friend, Molly Whitmore was asking about the family. Lots of memories of our high school “escapades” came flooding back including those with the Farr brothers. Please pass on our deepest condolences to Blaine’s mother, his wife and children, and brother Eugene and family.
Dear Family.
I am Patty Chopich – Mike and Catherine’s daughter – sister to Mickey (departed – as you know), Milly, John and Emil. I hope you remember me. Your family has always meant a great deal to us. I think of you and pray for you every time I am near Grafton. Please know that my family’s thoughts and prayers are with you now – a most difficult time in your lives.
Please tell Gene that I am writing a book about how much I love ‘driving’ and he is in it! NO ONE taught me to appreciate ‘shifting gears’ and listening to my engine more that he !! Thanks, Gene 🙂
With love and respect to all.
Pat
