He was born in Rumford on July 18, 1949 a son of Harold W. and Loretta (Geronda) Blaisdell.
Blaze was educated in Dixfield schools.
He was employed as a Propane Technician and a Jack of All Trades.
Blaze was a Leathersmith and repaired saddles and harnesses, made holsters, saddle bags, belts and leather bikinis for the female bikers. He was a fixture for many years at the Fryeburg Fair.
He loved his 62 Triumph and even when he was sick his ears perked up like a Doberman when he heard a motorcycle ride by.
Blaze was a little rough around the edges, but had a heart of gold. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and compassion for people.
