Honor a humanitarian, assist his widow

On march 23rd, my extraordinary Dad passed on in Provence, France. Richard A. Blasband, M.D. 1931-2019.  He was a 
University of Penn and Yale grad psychiatrist, healer, writer, father, husband, mentor, best friend. He is everywhere in spirit, still working as a healer as this is his nature. 

Those that knew him knew he was a big sweetheart, generous to a fault and rarely turned anyone away from his services. He had a great sense
of humor and charm, was also a published scholar, a progressive research scientist and a remarkable navigator through an extraordinary life.  

In 2015, at 83 years old, after moving with me to Provence France, he met his great love, Veronica MacDonald and they married a few days after New Years, 2019.   

Veronica is a British ex-pat who had been living in Southern France for many years.  Both she and my father had been alone for a long time and  when they met it was love at first sight.  She traveled with him, enjoyed life with him and cared for him in his final years.  

My father had two regrets.  One is that he never grew into a seven-foot-tall African American pro-basketball player.  And the other was that he had planned better financially.  It was part of his nature to feel as if he would live forever. This is what we loved about him.  

Many of us have benefitted from my father's generosity, whether through his knowledge, his love, his financial generosity or his services.

If you would like to honor Dr. Blasband and assist his wife with left over debt: medical bills, insurance bills and allow her to stay in the house
they shared, she and our family would greatly appreciate it,  as I know he would too. 

We thank you for your contribution from the bottom of our hearts. 
Health and Happiness to you.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Blasband
