*Loving Memories of My Daddy*


*EDWIN CHARLES BLAIR*
Died: March 19, 1994 (on the job accident)

Pictured below with my Mother, Ann,
at the home where I grew up in Rainier, OR.



Dad, we love and miss you very much. HUGS!
(Love you too, Mom *S*)






Here's Dad holding me when I was only a month old (April 1966).
I'll never forget YOU!!! I'll ALWAYS love and miss you very much!!!






Here's Dad with the two grandchildren he had before he died.
They are my nephew Doug (then age 3)
& my daughter Jenny (then age 1 1/2 or 2).
He loved them both so much. They held a very special place in his heart.



Even though Dad is gone to Heaven now,
I still have many fond memories of him.
Here are a few things I really admired about him:

My Dad was a man who really cared a lot
about helping others as much as he could.
He also loved God very much and read his Bible often.
He loved us and did what he could to care for us, too.
He wasn't perfect, and didn't claim to be.
He greatly loved his grandchildren as well.
He was a hard worker, too.

Some more simple, seemingly less significant things
I remember about him that always hold a dear place
in my heart when I think of him are...
when he'd push his glasses down to the bottom of his
nose so he could look at us over his glasses,
then smile & make us laugh.
...or...
(even more special to me) how he'd make up little songs
to sing about his love for Jesus or just silly little songs,
though he couldn't carry a tune if his life depended on it.
But he had what I called a "biblical" voice, 'cuz he could
"make a joyful noise unto the Lord" as good as anyone in the world. *S*
I also really admire how he wasn't afraid to cry or show his emotions.
He was also the romantic, affectionate type of guy.
(I think that's where I got those attributes myself *S*)
More men need to be that way I think.

Now my Dad is safe in the arms of GOD *S*.
Take good care of him, Jesus, like I know only You can!
One more thing, Jesus, give Daddy a big hug for me,
remind him how much I love & miss him,
and tell him I'll see him when You know it's the right time for me to be with both of you in Heaven.
