Andrew Blair Obituary
Pawleys Island
Andrew Richard Blair 82, of Pawleys Island, SC passed away on Monday, December 14, 2015 at 5:30 PM at his home.
Richard was born in Charlotte, NC on July 4, 1933 to Dr. Andrew and Grace Watkins Blair. Richard graduated from Central High School in Charlotte, NC. He went to Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA to follow in his father's footsteps but decided the medical field was not his destiny. He graduated from Wake Forest University. Richard dedicated his life to his work on Wall Street with his business partner and wife Delores Dover Blair.
Richards' passion for education and wanting to create a legacy in his father's name prompted him to become the founder of the Andrew Blair College of Health at Queen's University in Charlotte, NC. Through this gift to Queen's he will enrich many lives.
Richard is survived by his wife Delores; four daughters, Lynn (Tom) Jahl of Walker, IA, Catherine (Ray) Troiano of Apex, NC, Ellen (James) Moore of Charleston, SC and Jeannette (Garth) Somerville of Cary, NC; ten grandchildren; three great grandchildren and two beloved dogs, Lilly and Blue.
A memorial service will be held at the Pawleys Island Presbyterian Church in Pawleys Island, SC at 2:00 PM on Saturday, December 19, 2015. The family will receive guests immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: St. Frances Animal Center, 125 N. Ridge St. Georgetown, SC 29440.
The words on a tombstone do not reflect a person's life it is the way they were intertwined with the lives they affected that reflect the life of the person.

Hi Lynn and Cathy. You may not remember me but I loved in Foxcroft. I have a brother David and sister Stacy who died in 1989. I know it is four years late but wanted you to know I just read that your dad had died. He did me a big favor in NY City one time and I always remembered our visits to your house when he was just so kind to me. What a great guy he was and I regret not having reconnected with him in Pawleys Island where I now live. I'm at [email protected] it you ever actually read this and want to say hello. All the best
