Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Blair Amundsen, born September 3, 1943, in Edmonton, Alberta, announce his passing on March 18, 2022. Blair is survived and will be fondly remembered by his wife and best friend of 54 years, Nancy; children: Ian (Zena), Julie, and Eric (Carolyn); four grandchildren: Mikayla, Isabelle, Owen, and Dylan; brother Peter (Fran) as well as many nieces and nephews, and his loyal companion, Rondo.
Blair grew up in Michel, BC and then attended the University of Alberta where he completed his fellowship in Urology in 1974. He then moved to Lethbridge where he practiced until his retirement in 2009. Caring for his patients and interacting with the local medical community was a true passion for Blair. When he spoke of his time as a Doctor, it was with a smile on his face.
At the young age of 12, Blair obtained his ham radio license – a hobby he enjoyed his entire life. He also enjoyed photography, flying, welding, model trains, computer science, and his most recent interest, 3D printing. He played the cello in the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra for over 2 decades and then in the Crowsnest Pass Symphony when he moved to the area in 2008.
In spite of his many hobbies and accomplishments, Blair was a man of humility. His favorite pastime was hiking on his property with his dog and family. He passed away quietly after a brief battle with cancer with his family by his side facing the view that he loved from his home near Cowley.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to the Crowsnest Pass Symphony Orchestra PO Box 567 Blairmore AB T0K 0E0, or a charity of your choosing. A gathering to celebrate Blair Amundsen’s life may be held at a later date.
