My condolences to Louise, Justin, Adele & Evelyn. I grew up as a friend to Blairs son Justin, who while in junior high and in high school I stayed many nights over there and had the extreme pleasure to get to be around Blair, who didn't to this day realize I felt like this, but was the coolest Dad I ever met. The guy was in a band as I'm sure anyone reading this would know called "The Kid Brothers", and man, even in Middle School I thought I was so privileged to be staying over at this guys house! Guy was super kind, every time I was there, man I loved being there! Louise was amazing also! Everyone was, it was a great place to spend my weekend in between school days and on summer vacation. I remember once Blair played a show at the Graham Bell Museum a day our school took a field trip there and it was super cool..I.I also remember painting Justin's room one day royal blue with some sort of dabber tool lol it was a unique was to paint and I remember Louise at one point saying "Blair, here's a cigar, go relax" haha! After the fact I now suspect it had something to do with our paint job lol!! He was such a cool guy man...I'm writing this with a tear in my eye. I'm glad everyone who knew Blair had the pleasure to have done so, he was special. He was a real man. Take care Blair, you are held in the HIGHEST regard in my books and always will. Louise, Justin, Adele & Evelyn, you guys have a great celebration in his memory. BTW I miss going there, its been about 2 decades now. I never at the time realized the last time I was there would be the last time.....time really does fly! Stay strong guys. Sincerely Evan C Jesso

I first met Blair when he started his company StackABuoy and can honestly say he was a true inventor. His enthusiasm was infectious and his good humour always lifted me up. I was saddened to see of his passing as I thought for sure he would get past this challenge. My sincere condolences to Louise and family, his poem is a legacy of who he was. Godspeed.

Oh what a wonderful tribute to our friend Blair, and his poem is true to him and amazing - I can hear him speaking through it. I remember him well, and those days on the Filling Floor at DuPont in Ajax with him. What a time, so many co-workers and friends there, and Blair was first to smile, generate laughter, and 'quick to defend' his friends. We had so many fun times and laughs; he always sought to buoy people up - and never ever drag them down. A consummate performer and artisan with a heart of gold. I always looked up to him, I learned a lot about life in his company. I saw him last when he came to the DuPont Luncheon in 2019. I am very saddened to hear this news. A very sad day. Sincere condolences to Blair's family, and all those many friends and loved-ones who will miss him dearly, but so too will always have him in their hearts and memories. Blair - you *did* make a difference to so many - a big difference. The world is poorer without you. RIP my friend. You will never be forgotten.

Rennie and family, we were so sorry to hear the news of the passing of your brother Blair. While I only met him a few times, he left an indelible impression. His own poem of reflection is beautiful, and embodies the essence of the brother I met.

May God walk with you during your time of grieving and through the Christmas season.

We will pray for Blair and you all and ask that God watch over you on your journey in this life and the next.

To Louise, Evelyn, Adele & Justin - my heart, as yours, is broken by passing of Blair but, as with everyone blessed enough to have known him, my life was deeply and permanently enriched through his life; one he lived with honesty, passion, courage and genuine integrity. He was my best friend while growing up in Arichat and I will hold those memories tightly and forever in my heart. He was a beautiful person and I will never forget the times we shared.

My heartfelt condolences to you Louise and to yours and Blair's families. Gone too soon.

Condolences to Louise and all your family. The last time I saw Blair was at our 40th high school reunion. He certainly was larger than life and everyone knew he was with them when he was present. Rest in peace Blair.
