Peter E. Blank, 63, entered into the presence of his Lord on
Thursday (May 16, 2019) at Strong Memorial Hospital following a lengthy
illness. Mr. Blank was born on Jan. 24, 1956 to Sidney and Emogene
(Starr) Blank. He was a 1974 graduate of Wellsville Central School.
Peter was a self-employed computer consultant. He was a
programmer, web-design engineer and computer repair technician. Peter is survived by a son, Matthew Blank of Andover, a brother, Bruce (Michelle) Blank of Andover; and two nieces, Everly Blank and Anderah Blank.
Peter was a private man in many ways and lived out his Christian faith in a quiet and humble manner. Over time, he learned to communicate his love for the Lord to his son Matthew and instill in him the basics of a life with God. Some of Matthew’s fondest times were the heart to heart talks with his Dad and watching him model how to be a Christian in the small ways, knowing that his Dad was there for him, listening to his opinions.
Peter loved to play his guitar and enjoyed writing. One of his favorite pastimes was touring the local country roads, just enjoying the scenery and animal life.
Per his wishes, a memorial service will be held on Sunday (June 9) at 1:00 p.m. at the Genesis Bible Church in Scio with Rev. Marc Chamberlain and Rev. Kenneth Chroniger of the Alfred Station Seventh Day Baptist Church officiating.
Arrangements are under the direction of Baker-Swan Funeral Home.
Memorial contributions in Peter’s name may be made to
Allegany County Cancer Services, Attn: Lori Ballengee, 100 South Highland Ave.,
Wellsville, NY 14895.
