Isaac Ray "Bunt" Blair
Wadesville, WV
Isaac Ray “Bunt” Blair, 89, passed away at his
Wadesville residence on Jan. 9, 2008.
He was born in Wood County, on Oct. 1, 1918,
the last child of the late Isaac Ray and
Elizabeth Blair.
Bunt is survived by his wife of 66 years, Opal

He was preceded in death by four brothers and

Bunt was an employee of the Wood County Board
of Education for 34 years. The first 12 years
of service, Bunt drove school bus and was very
proud that in later years, he could remember
the names of his passengers when he
encountered them in Parkersburg. The remaining
years of his service were spent with the
maintenance department. Bunt retired from full-
time employment in December 1980. He continued
to work part-time for the Board of Education
and was particularly proud that he was
instrumental in teaching young employees of
the maintenance department about the heating
and cooling systems. His long retirement
included time spent chauffeuring and mentoring
his grandchildren, enjoying his pet cattle,
his beloved Belgian horse, Stainer, and a
Belgian Shepherd dog, Lako, a retirement gift
given to him by his children, and later
Bluebird, an Australian sheep dog.
Bunt was a member of the Wadesville Church of
Christ, belonged to the Woodmen of the World
Organization and a lifetime member of the West
Virginia Farm Bureau.
To those that knew him, Bunt will be
remembered for his wit, keen sense of humor,
encyclopedic memory, common sense, insight,
family values and his ever sharing love. He
took pride in voting at every election since
he was eligible to vote and knew all the names
of the presidents elected during his lifetime
and had received his graduate equivalent
degree.
The funeral service will be 2 p.m. Sunday at
Kimes Funeral Home, 521 Fifth St.,
Parkersburg, with Evangelist Andy Robison
officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset
Memory Gardens. The visitation will be from 2-
