Jim came into our lives through the engagement and marriage of his son, Patrick Bland, to our daughter, Phara Forsythe. He and Libby traveled to Hopetown, in the Bahamas for the wedding. His speech about his son showed us the unconditional love he had for his family and friends. We are blessed and grateful to have known him and share with him our precious grandson, Brewster Lee Forsythe Bland. Godspeed, Dr. Bland.

Libby, I was saddened to learn of Jim’s passing this past week. I had good intentions of coming to visitation or the service, but I’m sorry I didn’t make it to either one. Jim was a kind and compassionate doctor and Leonard was blessed to have him for his doctor for many years until he needed more specialized treatment until his death in 2014. I will be praying for God’s comfort and peace for you and the entire family.

Dr. Bland was such a wonderful caring doctor. He was always so good to my family. He was our family's doctor in the 60's and 70's and up until my Mama's death in 1981. He saw us through childhood illnesses and bumps and bruises. He was such a wonderful friend and physician to my Daddy as he battled cancer for 3 years between 1973 until his death in 1976. He was a source of comfort and support to my entire family through some the darkest days of our lives. I will be eternally grateful for his kindness and compassion. Libby, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you hugs and much love in your time of sorrow and loss.

How thankful I am to have been Dr. Bland's patient for 20+ years. His kindness was unfailingly evident each time I visited him. I trusted not only his medical expertise but also his heart as he helped me with any problem that I presented. He listened and took the time to care. It was wonderful through the years to know Dr. Bland was there. For all of us who knew him, James Bland will never be forgotten and will be deeply missed.

I am very saddened to read of Dr. Bland's passing. He was a wonderful doctor who spent time with his patients; he treated them like family. Oh how I loved him and will miss him dearly. I don't think we will ever meet a more respectable and endearing doctor in our life time; no one can hold a candle to him. May God Bless and keep you all during this difficult time. - Leslie Burdette

Dr. Bland was my childhood dr. As an adult I had the pleasure of working with him in his Aiken office for 10 years. I remember telling him I was glad to have the opportunity to work for him and he said, “you don’t work for me, you work with me”. He was a kind, intelligent man and a wonderful doctor and friend.
Libby and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Praying for you all at this difficult time. Susan & Dwight

Dr. Bland was my doctor for ten + years, in that time I grew to know his love for the Lord, his wife Libby and his family - Dr. Bland extended his personal attention to your health. I had such confidence in him and will always remember his classic rolled up cuffs and matching golf vest ! He was my doctor and friend, I miss him already but I know his passing is "going home" truly Heaven's gain. Dr. Bland you are simply irreplaceable and you should be proud of your legacy.
