It is with deep sadness that we, his family, announce the
death on November 15, 2021, of Blair Sherman Pellerin, 71, of
Larry’s River, NS.
Blair was known, loved, and respected by the people of many
communities in Eastern Guysborough County. He was the
consummate and big-hearted volunteer, who every day donated his time
and efforts to helping others as an active participant in community
and church affairs.
In his professional life Blair worked for many years for the
provincial Department of Community Services out of the Guysborough
office.
Blair was an avid sportsman as a fastball pitcher and hockey
player. He was also an accomplished musician, singer, and
guitarist who fronted a popular rock and roll dance band during the
1970s and 80s. For fifty years, he volunteered his musical
talents to countless fundraisers and parties throughout Eastern Nova
Scotia.
He is survived by his daughter, Danielle, his granddaughter,
Lyla, his brother, Gordie, and numerous nieces and
nephews.
Blair was predeceased by his parents, Percy and Elizabeth
(Fougere) Pellerin, his wife, Joanne Tarr, their son, Jacques, and his
siblings, Russell, Basil, Carroll, and Isabelle.
Due to COVID concerns, a private funeral Mass will be held at
St. Peter’s Church, Larry’s River. A
public celebration of Blair’s life will be held at a later
date as COVID protocols evolve.
In Memoriam, donations to St. Peter’s Cemetery
Fund, Larry’s River, appreciated.
