One of the many memorable Blair “muecas” moments that made even simple moments fun.
The beginning of our love for cars, music and other fun stuff. I will cherish these memories forever. Peace be with you my brother Blair.
One of the countless times our families gathered to celebrate something.
I did not have the pleasure of getting to know Blair until we were adults, so I always
called him "Baby Brother". He visited us in Canada when he was just out of high
school and beginning to chart his future. I remember he loved wind-surfing.
I remember his warmth, his sociability, his intelligence and his sense of fun.
During his visit to us, he quickly deduced that we needed to enter the tech world
of the 80's, and insisted on taking me and my young son to buy our first computer,
which he then installed- tutorial included. Blair surprised us with our first digital camera
and, later, an i-pad! He anticipated what what you needed and surprised you with it
because he cared. His four accomplished sons are the product of his love and
dedication to his family. My husband and I smile to this day remembering the crazy
outing with Blair and family on his pontoon boat and the cruise we took with the
family to celebrate Blair's 50th birthday. Blair was precious, and I will miss the
time we might have had together. With loving memories,

I can only hope he is tooling around heaven in the silver bullet Eurovan.
My fondest memory of my little brother, Blair, was how sweet he was as my ring bearer at my wedding in Miami forty-eight years ago today. He was six and I was twenty-two. He was happy, calm, and adorable. I gladly accepted our mother’s request to be there for him should anything happen to them. We would live around the world, but made sure we were there for his wedding to Ritzy. I will treasure our time together in Gainesville and having lunch at the mall there. He will always be the sweet little brother in this picture. I just wish that he was still here with his family in person, but I know he is with all of us in spirit.
