BRIAN BLAKE SURMAN

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• I am so sad for the passing of Blake Surman. I worked with Blake at OP for many years. He made me feel welcome when I first arrived. Blake was friendly, kind and gentleman. His students respected him because he cared about them and their learning. Blake had many friends on staff and got along with everyone. I was lucky to have known him. He is very much missed. - Posted by: Kyllikki Anne Ruus (Co-worker) on: Oct 24, 2023
