A private family service will be held followed by internment at the Hamilton Cemetery in Neptune. The family intends to hold a celebration of life when it is safe for family and friends to gather together.
Starting on Memorial Day, Dr. Blades’ beloved garden plot at the Fair Haven Community Garden will be maintained in his honor, marked by a mint and cream colored bird house to mark its location. Friends are invited to stop by and leave a note in his memory.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent or delivered to the Fair Haven Public Library, 748 River Road, Fair Haven, NJ 07704 for continuation of their community library initiatives.
