He was born, in Keene, on April 16, 1951, the son of Clarence A. and Helen A. (Blake) Blair. He was a member of the Keene High School Class of 1969. He went on to attend Keene State College, eventually earning a degree in Graphic Arts. While at Keene State he was the Editor of the college yearbook, The Kronicle. During college, and after, he worked at the Hinsdale Paper Mill and later, New Hampshire Ball Bearing and Markem Corporation. In the 80’s he moved to Burlington, VT to work for IBM as a Computer Operator. After 12 plus years he moved back to Swanzey, where he just finished rebuilding after a fire destroyed the family homestead in 2014. Most recently he had worked for Smith’s Medical in Keene in Production.
Mr. Blair enjoyed photography, so while enjoying the outdoors, during hiking excursions or camping trips to the White Mountains, or travelling to regional area Fireworks displays, you could be sure he would have his camera in hand to capture the beauty of it all.
He is survived by his brother: Steven A. Blair of West Boylston, MA, as well as a nephew: Taylor J. Blair, also of West Boylston. He was predeceased by his parents and a brother: James C. Blair.
