DAVID EDWARD BLAIS

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• I am so sad to hear of Dave’s passing. We were good friends for many years until I moved away from Winnipeg in the 1980’s. He sold us our house and property in Winnipeg. He was smart, always smiling and chuckling, a man with a real love of life. I am so sorry for your loss Carol and family. May Dave Rest In Peace in the arms of angels and go swiftly to heaven to join all the saints with sympathy. Donna - Posted by: Donna Cunningham (formerly Zdriluk) (Friend) on: Jan 22, 2019

• Today I learned that the Monday morning prayer group of which many of us are present members was co-founded by your dear David in the 1980's. One of many of his on going legacies. - Posted by: St. Ignatius Parish Parishioner (St. Ignatius Parish Parishioner) on: Jan 14, 2019

• I had the pleasure of meeting David and being a friend of his Mom for many years while I had my shop a few doors down from her on Corydon. I was so sad to watch Trudy slowly pass on as I spent many long hours, sometimes overnight when she needed support. David was so appreciative of this, that he graciously assisted me with the sale of my shop. This was a great help to me as by then, I was living in BC. My sincere sympathy to all concerned. - Posted by: Aurlie Young (Friend of David's Mom, Trudy) on: Jan 14, 2019

• I was sorry to hear that David has died. He taught us Sunday School way back and I saw him at church over the years. I met up with him again at Plaza de Nardi in the spring. When asked how he was, he first responded fine and then said well not really, I am dying. He then winked and said that with our faith, at least I know where I am going! I admired his sense of humour and strong faith. My second story is about his stylish mom who beckoned me to her church pew, when I was about 26. She asked rather loudly, in front of the congregation, I just want to know if you have a boyfriend! I turned a slight shade of pink, or maybe beet red and replied no. She said well, now I am going to pray for you and we will see what happens. To this day, I mostly thank his mom, as a week later my husband of 20 years asked me out. My sincere condolences to the Blais family for their loss. - Posted by: Andrea Kavanagh née Gannon (St. Ignatius Church and Sunday School) on: Jan 12, 2019

• We are so sorry to hear of David’s passing and send our thoughts to Carol and the rest of the family. David left a lasting impression on us some 6 years ago when fate brought us together twice in a couple of weeks. His friendly, gentle manner and a few coy words led us to purchasing the home of our dreams (your family home for some 40 years). We continue to love and grow the home you and yours started. May your memories of your lives together help ease your pain at this impossibly difficult time. - Posted by: Cathy Hogue-Hamer and Mark Hamer (Friends) on: Jan 12, 2019
