Yes, Blair was one heck of a person. Whether being a son, father, husband, friend or acquaintance, he was successful at them all. He touched everyone and left them better off by knowing him.

May all the wonderful memories shared ease your sorrow.

Dear Selena,

I am so shocked and saddened by your father's passing. He was such a sweet man, always smiling and always ready to give a kind thought. I know how your heart must be breaking and I wish I could take your pain away. I will miss running into him and how he reminded me of you.

Love,

Todd,Natalie,Melanie,Salena and Shirley; So sorry to hear of a great man leaving our world. He was a very charismatic and entertaining guy- always had a story to tell with plenty of smiles and laughs. May those smiles you receive from the people that care about him be comforting in a small way. I'll never forget him.

Dear Skiff Family,

We were very saddened to hear about Blair's passing. He was a great person/relative and really knew what the word "neighbor" represented.

We might not be able to be with all of you physically this week, but we will be sharing your time with our thoughts.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Sincerely,
