Shocked. I was unaware of Blake's passing til now. It bothers me as I always admired Blake and his accomplishments, his great life. He was there at the start of my career at Kodak; he, Larry and I enjoyed spending those first dollars at the local dance clubs. We both studied at Farmingdale, although different years. We also lived together on Sumner Park in the city for a while. I remember one time he had gone fishing in Lake Ontario and brought back a huge salmon, we threw it on the grill with a little salt and pepper. It was great and I still remember it. Another time my girlfriend decided to use our bathroom at the old apartment on Sumner, the shower was running, when the water was turned off, it wasn't me in the shower, and Blake politely speaking over the curtain told her he'd wait til she was done! We had a great laugh over that memory. As we both found our passions we lost track of one another but would occasionally bump into one another and catch up. I recall such an occasion earlier in the Spring of 2015, we spoke of our job losses, he pulled out his IPad and showed me lots of pictures he'd taken. he spoke of his Dad's latest book and a photo that Blake had rendered that might be used as a cover photo. He was proud of his family. It was a great chat and I'd hoped to do it again.
Very saddened there will be no more catching up.

My husband Tony and I send our deepest condolences to the family of Blake Londraville. We did not know Blake personally, but got to know him through his wonderful father Richard and my beloved cousin Janis. Whenever we visited Richard and Janis I always loved to look at the photos taken by Blake that they have around their home. May he ever be held in your hearts.

Dick, Janet and Family, Grace and self can not make it to Rochester to express our sympathy. We are sorry for your loss and will remember Blake in our prayers.
What a wonderful God we have - He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials.
Passing beyond the shadow, Into a purer light. Passing out of the shadow, Into external day. Laying aside a burden, Done with the world's vexations, Tired of all earth's playthings, ready to bid our friends farewell. Passing out of the shadow, Into external day, Why do they call it dying - This sweet going away.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord...and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
May all God's Blessings be with you. Your Old Cousin Bob and Grace Londraville.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Blake. It is so sad that we weren't aware of his troubles and able to offer help. He was always pleasant to everyone, helpful when he saw a need, and a generally good person.
Everyone who knew Blake was aware that his separation from Kodak was a life-changing event in his life, but we didn't realize for a minute that he would not, in time, be able to find another focus for his very special talents.
This tragic death is a reminder to all of us to keep an eye on people close to us who may have troubles that are too big to handle, but that they cannot bring themselves to ask for help in dealing with. Reach out to them if you have any idea. Blake will be missed.

Blake and I met at SUNY Farmingdale in the fall of 1978. We both shared the 4th floor Hughes Hall. We were instant friends. Blake was a good person. I have many fond memories of our short time together at college. Through time and busy lives we lost touch with each other. A few years ago Blake friended me on facebook and it has been nice getting back in touch. We got together about 5 years ago for Bob Fleck's surprise birthday party and again, it was nice to see my old friend. I am sad to hear of how he passed and even more sad that I was not aware that he suffered from depression. I pray that he is at peace and I send my deepest condolences to his family.
RIP Blake

Blake was a freshman at Farmingdale when I met him. Him cranking up the music of Dire Straits in his dorm room is my first memory. I got him to take a job with me in the cafeteria waxing the floors and picking gum off the bottom of tables.
He never let me forget that!
After we received our degrees we were fortunate to both land in Rochester with me at RIT and him as a Kodak employee.
He was there when I met my wife Norma. A legendary night to say the least.
We carried on in true form bonding over our love for photography for a few years.
I then moved away to Pittsburgh for fifteen years. Each time I came home for the holidays we caught up as he joined in holiday cheer with our family. Norma and I always hoped he would at least put on a clean shirt for dinner. He did! He stopped at the Salvation Army to get one! He loved a deal!
I moved back to Rochester in 1998 to work at RIT and we enjoyed the transition to digital photography together. If it was a headshot he was going to use the Photoshop pinch filter and if was a scene he would emboss it. The goofier the result of a portrait with a wide angles the better. Humor came natural for him and his photography composition was above par. When I hit a rough patch after the passing of my Dad he brought over a minibike for me to fix to get my mind off our loss. He said when he was young he would have to trade a hot wheel car to get rides on his friends minibike. That’s the one you see on his Facebook page with him riding it. He had great command of the English language, as he would be quick to correct my poor pronunciations and then come up with words like turbidity to describe the pond water that my dog would run through on our many “walkies” as he called them. Our long weekly walks in the parks or on Durand beach or out back behind our house brought a lot of laughs and introspection of life and its challenges.
I have had two setters one Irish and now a Gordon Maggie who is obsessed with chasing golf balls and one time we were trying to capture her jumping over the hill as I hit a golf ball through the gap. He willingly grabbed his camera and hid behind the hill with only his prized wide-angle lens exposed. I chipped the ball and caught his finger between the sides of the lens on the first attempt. Broke it, the lens that is. I had it repaired for him and he insisted on paying half, as it was his nature.
For those who wonder what happened for him to get so downtrodden to take his life. It was the loss of the work after 30 years at Kodak. He never bounced back, he tried hard. Regardless of active employment he was still the same great guy. He just hit bad luck in these changing times in not getting back on track and it took its toll. His great humbleness kept him silent on his issues, as he would never be a burden to his friends and family.
So my Buddy, my dogs best friend, alias (Uncle Blake, Mr Stinky, Mr 50) and one of the great people in my life I wish you well on your new “walkies” in the afterlife! Your spirit will always be by my side!
Over the years we enjoyed making you part of our family.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners won’t be the same.
To the Londravilles I am truly sorry for the loss of this great soul here on earth!

To the families of Blake Londraville: I read of your loss, and would like to extend my condolences. We face many distressing circumstances in our lives, and only God knows our feelings. Although it is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one, Our Heavenly Father, gives us the strength to cope. His Word assures us that He cares (1 Peter 5:7). May the many precious memories of Blake and the peace of God, bring a measure of comfort to your grieving hearts (Psalms 46:1; 2 Corinthians 1:3,4). Please accept my sincere condolences.

Blake was a year younger than me but part of my Potsdam High School gang that included kids that were interested in art, music, drama, and literature. Blake was a fun part of that scene, and we all liked him a lot. He was witty and fun to be around. He could find spot-on puns, to the effect of "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." I liked that about him, and his photography was wonderful. At one of my high school reunions, he was there, and we hung out together at an event at the Potsdam Country Club. He was definitely the most interesting man at the event, and we had a great time catching up!
In more recent years, I have really enjoyed being his Facebook Friend, and I have admired his photography, which was really inventive. I remember that he faced losing his job at Kodiak in seemingly good spirits a couple of years ago, but I didn't realize that he was going through disorienting times afterward. I am so sorry that he decided to stop trying. Blake was a person worthy of the very best of love, and I'm really sorry if he ended up alone. His loss to us is profound.

I had the pleasure of working with Blake at Kodak in the late 80's / early 90's in B-59. Had many good times with Blake at work and outside of work. Sort of lost touch with each other as career moves changed things. I have a photo that Blake took of some deer. "Very cool photo" When he gave it to me I had him autograph it.. Still have it hanging after all these years. I will miss my old friend. Blake thank you for the great memories!

I am so very sorry to read of Blake's death. One of my memories is of Blake's enthusiasm and positive attitude. I remember when we were doing a program on new ideas, Blake wrote a wonderful article about how our digital cameras could be used in macro mode to take beautiful very close-up pictures and he provided gorgeous examples.
I'm sorry for the pain you are experiencing now. May Jehovah God give you strength and hope that Blake is no longer in pain and God will keep his promise of a resurrection.

To the Londraville family, There really are no words, we all seem to be at a loss for them except when reflecting on our time with Blake, and then we smile. Blake had a flare all of his own. He had a devilish grin and an angelic smile. He spoke often of you all, and loved to share stories of days past. He was a good, kind soul who I wish knew how special he truly was and how dearly he will be missed. May you find peace in knowing just how special he was to each and every friend he made along the way. My sincere condolences on the loss of your beautiful son, brother, uncle & friend. Rest in Peace my friend.

Oh Blake, Still trying to make sense of this.You were so much more than your devilish good looks and infectious smile. You were such a caring good person. A talented man. Seemed you could relate to anyone. If only we had known you were in pain, any of us would have rushed to be by your side and pluck you from your darkness. It's as though a light went out from this earth, when your spirit left. We are all shocked and saddened by your leaving us. You seemed to love life and live it fully, laughing and joking and carrying on with your silly self. You were a joy to be around. I pray that your family will find comfort in knowing how much you meant to your friends.I pray they will find the answers they need to come to grips with this. I pray that you are at peace, looking into the beloved face of Our Lord. You probably never knew how much you would be missed. I wish you had known. Rest in Peace dear friend.

Blake, you are gone way to soon. We hadn't talked in a month or more but every time we spoke it was as if no time had passed since we last saw each other 10 years ago. You made me laugh like nobody else on earth, so hard my sides hurt and I sometimes had tears running down my face.
I know things weren't easy these last few years but I wish you had let me in to talk about it. I don't know if there was anything I could have done or said to make things easier for you but I'd like to think we could have shared enough laughs until the next time you needed some more and we could have done it all over again until your situation and/or your outlook improved.
I don't know if you ever accepted or understood this but you were always more than your job, the car you drove, the stereo or photo gear you bought and sold on eBay, you were a dear friend who would have been just as much fun and just as worthwhile a human being no matter where you worked or what you owned.
I don't know if you knew this or not but my ringtone for you was a baby's laugh-- whenever I heard that it was kind of like Commissioner Gordon lighting the Matsignal, and we were about to go on a mission-- of course, you would be in Rochester and I would remain in NJ, but I knew I could look forward to some smiles and a satisfying trip down memory lane regardless...and I was praying that one day the baby's laugh would herald some momentous announcement that Blake 2.0 was ready to launch.
I chose the baby's laugh because a laughing baby is so pure, just like your wonder and sense of humor and adventure, and it is hard not to smile when in the presence of a laughing baby or Blake Londraville when he is "on".
I miss you, man.

Blake was a good friend since our years working together at Kodak. He had an unusual talent of using photographic technology to create very interesting/unusual images. He was able to look thru a viewfinder and create interesting photos. He was a very good artist, but he never seemed to realized it.
He was always fun to be around. I'll remember all the good times and wish there were more good times to add. He was a very good friend and will really miss not having him around.

Adding my condolences and prayers. I met Blake about 14 years ago when I first started working for Kodak. My memories are that he was always super friendly and had the most awesome photos in his area. It sort of amazed me when we would talk because I felt like a real photog was talking with this spastic QA person... I still think of a self portrait that he had done, it was a picture of his shadow...I just thought it was a clever and different way of doing a self portrait...then a while ago he sent me a friend request on FB...my condolences and prayers...

Dear Londraville family,
I'm very sorry for your loss for death is our greatest enemy and always brings much pain and grief and it's at such times as this comfort and hope is needed and I'd like to share where I found this when this enemy took my entire family. I found this in what Jehovah Gods word the Bible says at John5:28,29 that we'll see our love ones again because Jesus says he's bringing them back in the resurrection and also at Isaiah25;8 we're told that this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. This along with jw.org(search:comfort) is how I'm able to get through each day. I'm truly hoping you'll find help from this also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you and I would appreciate your letting me know if it has at gloriamosley@hotmail.com and please know I do share your grief. Sincerely, GMosley
