Patrick "Pat" Blair

Obituary of Patrick Blair
Patrick "Pat" John Blair, 67, husband to Jean Klausner Blair for 34
years passed away Sunday, October 27, 2024. Pat defeated cancer
but was taken away after years of battling pancreatitis.
Pat was born in Minneapolis, MN to the late Thomas Edmond Blair
and Yoshiko Ashida Blair. He attended Essex Junction High School
and graduated with a Math degree from University of Vermont. He
had quite a remarkable and varied work life - IT Fortran coder;
Telecomm Specialist; 3rd grade Teacher and finally a Golf club
Maker into retirement. He provided Jean extraordinary support in
her career and was her biggest cheerleader. He had so many
passions - animals, movies, reading, motorcycles, golf, music, guitars,
KC Chiefs, and house projects. In Pat's Facebook "details" he
describes himself as "worked at playing crappy guitar and riding
motorcycles like a geezer". Pat was meticulous with all his toys
and tools and could repair almost anything. He had a couple years
of turning into "PoPo" with the addition of the amazing little
Josephine Kirkpatrick into the family. He will probably be most
remembered for his vibrant personality, sense of humor and
wonderful laugh but also for being the Best Brother, Best Husband
and Best StepDad.
Surviving, in addition to his wife are a stepson, Zachary Kirkpatrick
(Acadia), Granddaughter Josephine, brother Michael Blair (Lisa); two
brothers-in-law, Bob Seibert and Paul Altnether; and sister-in-law
Janice Palmisano (Bill). He was predeceased by his sister Jacqueline
Seibert and his parents.
A Celebration of Pat's life will be held at Jean's home after the New
Year.
