Don C. Blair

Dear Gary, Kathy and family,

Our deepest regrets on the passing of your father. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your extended family. May the Lord bless and comfort all of you.

Love, The Edmonds Family

Thanks for the wonderful Senior Pictures, Murray High Class of 1979.

My condolences to the family of Don Blair "Big Daddy". We loved him in North Carolina and his warm smile and big hug will be missed. The indelible mark he left on people in the field of photography will always be remembered and felt. The lives he touched is immeasurable. We will miss him but most of all we will remember how he changed all our lives, especially mine.

To Don's Family. He was my friend and teacher. I knew him for over 38 years. we would cross doing programs, visit share stories. Thanks for calling me and letting me know of his passing. He will be missed by all who knew him. I am just glad that I was one of the lucky ones.

To the family of Don and Donna,

Your parents added so much to the history of Murray. Priceless.

The words I send are familiar to us all, and we've probably hummed or sung them also.

But when written, some one must have been right where you are today.

"We'll meet again,
"Don't know where
"Don't know when,
"But I know we'll meet again
"Some sunny day . . . . ."

Such comfort.

Dear Gary, Kathy, Janet, and family,
My heart aches at the passing of your Dad. I just called him at the hospital about 2 weeks ago to tell him how much I enjoyed his new book. I assisted him with a few of the photos in the book, and now those photos will bring back great memories for me. As you may remember, I was on my way to meet Don in San Antonio in October of 2001 when I got the call that he had broken his hip. I stayed with him a few days until Gary and Kathy arrived. I had...

Our hearts go out to Janet, Kathy & Gary and to each of their chidren and grandchildren at the passing of their wonderful Dad and Grandfather. Kathy and I were best friends and cheerleaders together from ninth grade all through our senior year at Murray High. We not only had fun being the two "Kathy's", but we shared many of our hopes and dreams with each other. I always felt so welcome in Donna and Don's home. Don was the ultimate tease, and he had a knack for making you feel very special....

I have wonderful memories of growing up on Mountain View Drive and all of our great neighbors. The last time I saw Don was at Little America having dinner with Donna. Donna was ill, and she passed away not long after. I think Donna had the longest eyelashes I have ever seen, and Don had the best smile. Most of the old timers are gone now, but I will never forget what a great place we lived in, and the contributions Don made to the community. I am sure everyone that grew up in Murray has a...

I first met the Blair family when I moved to Murray and started high school in the Fall of 1967. I walked into Girls Chorus on the first day of school and there was another girl wearing the same sweater vest I was wearing, except in a different color. Women aren't supposed to like it when another woman is wearing the same outfit they are, but we were only girls then and didn't know that, so instead we became instant best friends. In the summer after that first year of school, Don and Donna...
