We received a letter from Blair's widow, Nadine notifying us of his death. Following is part of the letter.
Bonnie,
I am writing to let you know that my husband, Blair Fenlon, passed away September 21, 2002, after a 6 month battle with cancer.
He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in March, and despite radiation and chemotherapy, the cancer spread to other organs.
Shortly before he passed, he said that he wished your class had done a 30th class reunion, so he could say goodbye to everyone.......
Sincerely,
Nadine Fenlon-Dow
