Blair Donald Kolinsky

Karen, Chase, and baby.
Although we have never met, please accept my heartfelt sympathy at your loss of Blair, a wonderful, genuine, outgoing, uplifting, person and work mate.

I had the priviledge of working as an estimator with Blair at both the North and South Richmond ICBC offices for nearly ten years.

I often looked forward to his oral presentations in the lunch room as he would read articles aloud from the National Enquirer during lunch breaks.

Karen, I have never had the pleasure of meeting you but my heart goes out to Chase, you and the baby. Blair had such a zest for life and wonderful sense of humour. He always recognized people's special efforts and achievements. This is only one of the many outstanding qualities that he had. He will be missed at the Zoo but never forgotten.

Karen, Chase and family.

It was with complete shock and sadness that I heard of Blair's sudden and tragic passing. I knew Blair from growing up in Ladner and then again as we worked together at ICBC. He was a man of great integrity and a quick wit who always seemed to see the brighter side of the situation. My heartfelt condolences go to you and all of Blair's family.

Karen, Chase and baby, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. I will always remember Blair as a kind hearted man with a great sense of humour. When I started work at Richmond Claims in 1987, Blair had just started a few months prior to me. He made me feel at home and told me not to worry that everyone was nice. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone, we were all blessed to have known him.

Karen, Chase and baby to come. I was extremely stunned by the news of Blair's tragic passing. The first thing I thought of about Blair was how he was one of the first people I met when I joined ICBC some 10+ years ago. We worked in the same offices for about 6 years participating in various office related activities. Blair also helped me out with personal matters and was always the type of man who would lend a hand if you needed it, both professionally or personally. He was always level...

Karen, Chase and baby..we were stunned to hear of Blair's tragic passing. We have so many wonderful memories of Blair. I worked with him for almost 10 years at the same office, and played ball on the same team for a number of years. We have good memories of the Agassiz and Sullivan tournaments, as well as the regular games, and everyday life in the office. Blair was one of the most positive, enthusiastic people I have ever met. I never heard him say an unkind remark or have a negative...

Karen:

Sam and I would like to express our deepest condolences in your loss. Our heart and thoughts are with you, Chase and your family. We will always have fond members of Blair. He will truly be missed.

Karen, there are no words....My heart goes out to you, Chase and the baby. If you ever need anything, please call. Thinking of you all. Love Della

As with everyone, I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Blair's sudden passing. My heart ached as my thoughts immediately went to Karen, their unborn baby, and Chase.

I have worked with Blair for a couple years now and although I have been on maternity leave this past year, I enjoyed hearing updates on Chase from Blair when I stopped in for visits.

Although words seem to be at a loss for me right now, I will say Blair was an honorable man who was not afraid to...
