Dear Blair Family,

I fondly remember your Dad and Milton Paris picking me up to go to work at Novelty during the summers. My father (Phil Faneuil) spoke very highly of your father.

Mr. Blair,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear Family,
Please know that my thoughts are with you. Occasionally, I drive through Oak Hill Park, and although it looks so different, it will always be the "Blair's house" on N Roadway. I extend my sympathy and prayers.

Rhonda and Lewis,
I was saddened to hear of Dad's passing. When i was young, I always knew him to be a pillar of strength, and someone to emulate. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Cousin, Scott
