My condolences to the family members ,I am sorry for your loss of Blair . We became co workers in 1980 at St.Joseph Hospital and the relationship turned into a forty year deep friendship. I will enjoy the wonderful and joyful memories we shared through all the years. No matter how much distance or how much time went by , our friendship stood strong. We shared time going to Broadway shows in NY, visiting in my home in NY, traveled to Vermont visiting friends. We enjoyed cooking together. I was a single mom and Blair would fill in as an emergency babysitter for my three young children and put them to work polishing wood at Thistle Hill. He would take us on picnics to see the longhorns when I lived in Texas. I will sadly miss answering my phone to hear him singing me a Christmas song every year and never missed a year sending me his traditional penguin Christmas card. All the hours reminiscing our shenanigans will leave a very empty place in my heart. I am blessed to have had a friendship that spanned four decades. Fly high my love, forever in my heart . RIP my dear and loved friend. Love, Jane Jones Callahan

Blair was a fun loving guy, enjoyed all kinds of new experiences. He was a coworker at St Joseph Hospital in the Psychiatric Department on the 12th floor. We continued the friendship throughout the years. We discussed the all the events that ever happened at SJH and shared outings. He was caretaker and docent at Thistle Hill for a few years and we shared experiences there also, since I lived there when the Girls Service League owned it. I will miss him very much. May he rest in peace. And may the Lord grant peace and comfort to the family in their grief for their loss.
