Percy Blair

May 18, 1928 - December 1, 2024

Mr. Percy Lawrence Blair passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, December 1, 2024 at the age of 96 years. Our sadness at the loss of our father is tempered by the joy of knowing that he is now at peace in the arms of Jesus and is reunited with his wife, Margaret. Percy was born May 18, 1928, in Delburne, Alberta to James and Lucy Blair. He was raised on the family farm near Lousana, Alberta where he spent most of his youth. He married his one true love, Margaret Cumberland, on April 6, 1953.
