Blair started his fishing career at the age of 15 and continued to fish until he was 74 years old. As an adult, he was the captain of his vessels. Lobstering, swordfishing and longlining were what he enjoyed. He was always respected and liked by his crew, as well as in the community. He was a kind, gentle and soft-spoken man; a very forgiving man with a gentle spirit. He loved music and more often than not, he would be humming a song. He absolutely loved cats. As a young man he was a good swimmer and enjoyed his motorcycles. He was loved by his family and will be missed. Thank you dad for all that you are.
