He moved to Thompson, Manitoba in 1962 where he worked for INCO for many years. In 1978, Blair, Dorothy and the family moved to Alberta where they still reside. Blair was a lover of country music. He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandsons. He spent many hours watching their hockey games, going fishing, camping and playing pranks on them.
