Dear Rita and Family: It is such a loss to all of us. Blair was a gentleman in every aspect of the word. He was a shinning star and always would light up the room when he got there. He will be sadly missed by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go through this difficult time. Blair is looking down at us having a nice Scotch and water, and waiting for the fog to clear for another round of golf. "Miss your smile already Blair '. Joan and Gord

Rita ,every time I think of Blair ,I remember him giving me a nickel to smile for him when I lost my two front baby teeth ,many moons ago. Though it's hard to see the reason why things happen as they do, in this time of sorrow, may it be comforting to know caring thoughts go out to you and your family .

My Dear Rita, we were shocked to hear about dear Blair such a kind gentle man, so full of humour and so willing to help others, we will miss him so much but not as much as you we know that. It seems such a short time ago we were playing golf with him, life seems so unfair some times. You must find time in your grieving to celebrate the wonderful life of Blair and the many years of beautiful memories of Blair.Our thoughts will continue to be with you in this terribly difficult time. Love Al and Lesley Jones
