Dear Ed, David, Elizabeth and family I was shocked and so incredibly sorry when I read the news about Blairs passing. I know I speak for my sisters when conveying my deepest sympathy. He was such a fun adventurous little guy when I babysat for you kids. Mom always loved you kids as if you were her own grandkids. Elizabeth, it still touches us so much that you came to our mom's visitation. It was so wonderful to see how beautiful and grown up you are. Please accept our thoughts and prayers and may God bring you peace and comfort now and always.

Love, Ruth Parkers daughters Jane, Carol, and Kathy

Thoughts and prayers go out to your family from ours. I remember Blair and I having to carry each other on our backs and running the length of Rocky's gym during Coach Reid's "horse races" after the basketball season was over. I'm sure it was quite humorous watching the fat freshman (me) running down the floor with this big, gangly Blair riding and whipping me like a jockey. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace, Blair.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. No words can express my deepest sympathy to you my FRIEND, although the tears may flow uncontrollably now have relief in knowing that this too shall pass. Keep your head up, I am praying for you. Please dont hesitate to ask if you need anything!

To Blair’s family: I know there are no words that can ease your pain. I ask God to provide you comfort and respite during this very difficult time, now and in the months and years ahead. Blair was a big guy with an imposing presence, but once you got to know him, you realized he was a gentle giant whose eyes revealed a good soul. He had a lot of friends and I hope that brings a smile to your face knowing he was a part of many people’s lives.

To Blair: So many of us that knew you loved you and cared for you and wished nothing but the best for you. If you didn’t know that before, you know it now looking down on all the people celebrating your life. You’re a good guy in a better place who left great memories; and I’ll always wish you could’ve had just a little more time here on earth.
-- Stacey Johnson

My heart and prayers goes out to the Delong family, as difficult as this tragedy is we can always hold onto the great memories of this wonderful man. I will miss him dearly, he was a sweet, kind, and funny guy with a HUGE heart. May God continue to bless you all. RIP Blair. Kimmie

Blair and I started Monmouth College together as freshmen. He was always a good guy! Even though I wasn't on the basketball team, he always made me feel like I was part of the group. He loved rap music, so we had that in common. We lost contact after 1986 (the year I left Monmouth), but when I think of my time there at Monmouth, Blair was definitely a big part of that. I'm so sorry to hear that he's no longer with us. My condolences go out to the DeLong family and friends.
