Charles Leidy BLAIR
We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing on Monday, October 23, 2017, at the age of 64, this loving and special man who meant so much to all of his family, relatives and friends.
Deeply loved and much admired father of Elizabeth, Emily & husband Michael Laton, Charles (Chas), his godson Guillaume Pinard, loving grandfather to Jack & Annabelle. Great friend and co-parent with his former wife, Julie Pinard. Beloved brother and brother-in-law to his sister Sandra & Fred Hurd , Michael & Ginette Blair. Loving uncle to Wendy Hurd, Joanne Hurd & David Morris and family, Jason Blair & Marie Claude Letendre & family; Audrey & Michel Bergeron & family, Morgaen Blair & family. Predeceased by his granddaughter, Violette Laton. He will always be forever loved by all in the blended Blair, Swanson and Illick families. Friend and fun-loving pal to so very many. A natural athlete who loved cycling, telemark skiing and all of nature, Charlie will be remembered by everyone whose life he touched for his kind heart and joie de vivre. To quote his cousin Dale Swanson MacKenzie who just saw him last month in Kenora when Charlie was on his recent cross-Canada camping trip: The memory is so fresh and my heart is breaking yet so full of awe at the life he managed to get into the years he had.
