I heard of Mr. Blair's passing during a recent business trip to Ohio. He was our neighbor on Longwood Dr. Carol, Michelle and Marcia may the Holy Spirit be a balm of comfort at this time of grieving. He always seemed so full of life and was quick to smile. The entire Epprecht family offers our loving thoughts and prayers.
