It is with great sorrow that our family announces the sudden passing of Robert Damien Blais on Friday, November 13, 2015 at Health Sciences North. Devoted husband of Denise Blais (Tessier). Loving father of André (Klaudia Ziemba), Luc (Nicole Leblanc), Ginette Pronovost (Scott). Robert was the beloved “pépère” of Sophie Pronovost. Cherished brother of Rachel Pharand (Bruno predeceased), Gaston (Lise), Donald (Roxanne), Denis (Monique), Claude (Dawn). Born in Chelmsford, “Bob” was the son of the late Gérard and Lea (Bélanger) Blais. Robert will be fondly remembered for his charisma and sense of humor especially by the Tessier family. He will be sadly missed by his many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. His zest for life was not diminished by his battle with cancer and he was looking forward to welcoming a new grandchild in January. Up until his passing, Robert continued to enjoy playing guitar, performing with “The Tremonics”, golfing with his brothers, Skyping his precious Sophie and getting to know his step grandchildren Brandon and Megan.
A Celebration of Bob’s Life will take place on Saturday, November 21, 2015 at Paroisse St. Joseph, 3594 Errington Ave, Chelmsford at 10:30 a.m. followed by a Memorial Mass at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to your local food bank or to a charity of your choice.
Cher Robert, tu nous manqueras jusqu’à la fin de nos jours!
Mes sincères sympathies à Denise et la famille des Blais et Tessier.
Je vais manquer son beau sourire. Très belle personnalité. Nous avions eu du plaisir,
soirée amicale–concert avec Maison La Paix, au Collège Notre-Dame. Beaucoup de beau souvenirs, à toutes vos rencontres. Vous étiez une bonne équipe, de jouir ensembles de vos chansons. Que son âme repose en paix. Beaucoup d’amour et de lumière,
Prends soin Denise—-Luv Yah
