Alex Blair

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Catherine,

I'm very sorry to hear about this very sad news. Your father has been on this forum and its predecessor since its inception. Alex has been a source of knowledge and good fun. If there's appropriate time left, please thank Alex for his contribution and support to MLU - on behalf of all the members.

We wish you and your family lots of strength during these difficult times.

Best regards,
Hanno
MLU Administrator

When I had a short stay in Ottawa, it was Alex who drove across town to pick me up and take me to Gracies for a meet, and drove me back again afterwards.

I will be thinking of Alex and thoughts and prayers are for him and your family.

[Rob Fast]

I always appreciated Alex here, my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I'm so sorry to hear this Catherine, Alex was a very valued original member on MLU, and as Hanno said it's predecessor as well.

He contributed knowledge and humour to us all.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

Thank you for bravely posting here to let us know.

Cathrine and the Blair Family

What can be said but a friend will be missed, and remembered. MLU as you may know is a group of friends many who have never met but who have as in your father's case been known each other for many years.

With warmest regards Phil

Alex will surely be missed by the MLU community in general and by the local Ottawa folks in particular who had the honour of including him as one of our own.

Alex's impact on our hobby was profound and and positive. On behalf of the Hammond Barn gang and the Rusty Old Truckers (Rotters) of Ottawa, I offer our condolences.

We will hoist a drink in his honour at the next group meeting.

Catherine,
Thank you for thinking of "us" (the MLU family) at this difficult time.
You must know that, via this forum, Alex has had an influence in the lives of hundreds of people that he has never met. I regret that now it seems that Alex and I will never meet.
As said above, we will all miss his knowledge and humour on this forum.
You, your Dad, and the family will be in the thoughts and prayers of many, many people from all over the world. Please keep in touch.
The Holgates.

Catherine, please accept condolences from the Baker family.
There is nothing I can say that will relieve the horrible time you are about to go through, but know that in some way we share your pain. The world cant afford to lose any more good people. Alex is one of those folks that should have earnt a ticket to remain here permanantly!


As the final lines are written in Alex's book of life, know that his MLU family grieves with you.
