As both a former student of Holy Family School, parishioner, and Alter Server, Mr Blais was someone you encountered at nearly every corner you turned. I remember him as a very engaging man and kind to us as youth of the Parish.

Please rejoice in the memory of his kind presence and positive effect he had on people in his life.

My sympathies to the Blais family. I attended Holy Family School (1958-1966). I came into contact with Mr. Blais every day. Such a nice man!! I am 64 yrs of age and recall him vividly. God Bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
