A special thanks to Dr. Sarah Chesney and Dr. Kevin McIver for the wonderful care they gave Blair over the last few years. It was much appreciated.

"And when one of us is gone

And one is left alone to carry on

Then remembering will have to do

Memories alone will get me through

To talk of days of me and you for evermore"

Blair was an exceptional husband and father and will be greatly missed forever. Til we meet again my love...

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
