Loving father of Rod Evans (Carrie), Sherry Evans (Terry); grandchildren Sandra Kozak (Robert), Sarah Evans (Luke), Lindsay Evans (Shane), extended grandchildren Terry Jr. Carmichael (Ericka) and Mathew Carmichael (Laura); and 10 great grandchildren.

He was a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years. Served his community as a Lion, receiving his 40-year membership.
For 20 years, from 1990, he was responsible for the Claremont Union Cemetery, the last 10 years he managed the cemetery, resigning December 31, 2020. He was a member of the Brougham Masonic Lodge.
Blair had many occupation jobs, from carpenter, contractor, owner operator of a gravel truck, to Board of Education maintenance.
One of his most memorable accomplishments was the development of the subdivision on Burnt River, Fenelon Falls where he gained many friends.
Some of his last words were; “I love my family.”
