Kenneth J. Blair M.D.

I came to this page by chance when looking Ken up , I was a flex intern at Brack who 40 years later was reflecting on the most memorable docs I had had the good luck to work with . Ken was brilliant humble engaged quirky and all things wonderful. He left the world a better place than he found it. He certainly lives on in my memory .

I stumbled upon the news of Ken's passing yesterday and was too shocked and saddened to write a remembrance just then. Today I'm able to reflect on how blessed I am to have had him as my doctor during what was unquestionably the darkest time of my life and to be able to remember that time with an unforced smile. Ken saved me from suicide when I thought it was my only option. In my very first visit he recognized my need to make a specific major change that I was resisting; over the following...

I think of you this time of year as well as many other times. Our time together was before you had Dr in front of your name. But even though it was long ago, I still remember your wild hair, black cape, and showing up at my dorm with a trash can full of snow and a bottle of wine. You absolutely loved life with all its quirks. That is why your smile was so infectious! Clearly you are still loved by many, including me.

Your absence has become so familiar as you are never far away. Background memories move the old, stale sadness out of perspective and shine a light on the amazing time we had together. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for marrying me. Thank you. Thank you.

Dr. Blair taught me so much while I worked with him at JSFP. He loved educating not only his patients but also his staff. Dr. Blair was an absolute genius, wonderful human, physician and I'm so proud to have learned so much from him.
Rest peacefully Dr. Blair.

Still. Quiet. Love.

You are blessed among those in heaven. Enjoy it up there as many in in the world waits for the Christ child. I miss you and think of you often. I shall never forget your smile and goodness.

Blessed Yule, Ken!

The stars are out and the air is crisp as we move into this w I enter solstice. A fire burning in the pit. You would love it.

Dr. Ken delivered my son Ryland back in 1986, and I remember so well what a wonderful gentle person and friend he was, easing my anxiety about having a child. I met him through the People's clinic, and was thrilled to know that he was going to deliver my child. Googled him today, and shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. So sorry.
