Obituary for
Reginald James « Reg » Blair
Blair, Reginald « Reggie »
Reginald entered into his heavenly home on Sunday, January 13, 2019 after complications of breaking his hip from a fall. Reg passed peacefully with both of his sons by his side. He was the beloved husband to the love of his life for 51 years, to the late Marilynne Blair who passed in 2012. Together with care and love they raised two sons, Jim (Kylie) and Steven (Amy). He was a very involved and caring grandfather to Mackenzie, Brittany, Clarissa, Hillary and Steffanie. Dear brother of Glen (Marion) Blair and Ray (Joan) Blair. Reg was born to the late Delbert and Susie Blair (nee Dowdall). He will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and their families who were extremely close and traveled distances to be at every occasion. Reginald served 32 years with the Royal Canadian Air Force, his work took him to Nova Scotia, Germany (2yrs), Trenton, France (2yrs), Germany (2yrs), North Bay (8yrs) and Ottawa. Over the years Reg was a very active and passionate golfer, he enjoyed hunting, fishing and competing in a bowling league with his brothers and friends. Reg and Marilynne surrounded themselves with many amazing friends, who traveled together to many destinations. Reggie may even have had been known as “the life of the party”. One of their favourite pastimes was spending time at the cottage on the Rideau where they made many memories for their family and friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Lawson and all of the staff at the Smiths Falls and Kingston General Hospitals for their incredible care. The compassion and empathy to Reg and family during this short hospital stay was second to none. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls on Thursday, January 17, 2019 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. A service to celebrate his amazing life will take place on Friday at 12 noon. Interment will follow at Maple Vale Cemetery. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation or to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Fund.
