Prior to his retirement, Blois worked various jobs within the fishing industry finally settling as a Clammer until his retirement. He had a fond love for dogs, especially his dog Taffy who was his world. In his leisure time, he enjoyed going for walks to the beach, watching a Bluejay’s game on TV or hearing the local fishing stories from his nephew Tony. Blois loved to be with his family and friends and will always be remembered fondly when someone says the words, “I don’t know.”
