It is with a heavy heart, and tears in her eyes, that I release Blair's hand, my husband of 47 years into the arms of God where there is no pain. Blair has joined his children, Margaret and Blair Jr. at the Golden Gate on September 3, 2023.
Blair will be lovingly remembered by his wife Hannah Kate "Ann" (Boutilier), grandchildren Ava Grace, Blair Travis Hanrahan, Logan and Evan Gilbert, sister Ann Marie "Manny" of PEI, brother Reggie (Sue) of ON as well as brother-in-law Arthur (Ralphina), Lennie (Bernadette), Mickey (Doreen), Joseph (Amanda), Freddy (Susan), Hubert, special sister-in-law Mary (Bernie) Gouthro and best buddy Harry G. along with his many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents Walter and Mary Belle (MacDonald) Hanrahan, Blair was predeceased by 2 children, sister Mary Wells "Winnie" and 1 sister in infancy, brothers Joseph, Harvey, Neil, Terry, Kevin, Harley, John, Alex, and 2 brothers in infancy.
Blair loved life and enjoyed the simple things, a good laugh, time spent with family and friends, watching his beloved Toronto Blue Jays and bringing home meat from darts.
A visitation will be held on Monday, Sep. 11 from 2-4 & 7-9 at Patten Funeral Home, 71 Union St., Glace Bay. Funeral Service will be held at 2pm on Tuesday also from Patten Funeral Home with Fr. Norman MacPhee officiating. Inurnment to follow in St. Mary's Anglican Cemetery. The service will be streamed on Patten's Facebook page for those unable to attend.
