I went to school with blair and joyce. I knew them briefly. He led a top shelf life that his family will be proud of now and in the future. I hope the healing power of time will come to the family swiftly.

Blair's life is a great example for others to follow! His work at the Enfield Senior Center Computer Lab, while brief, was outstanding and appreciated by all!
