Mr. Thomas G. Blair has been a Certified Financial Planner since 1984 and is a Charter Life Underwriter ("CLU"). Prior to creating The Blair Group, Inc. in 1991, Mr. Blair worked with his father, Harry F. Blair, Jr., in the family's funeral business. Harry F. Blair, Sons, was a Brooklyn-based, funeral business started by Tom’s grandfather in 1900. During his tenure in this business, Tom first became aware of the financial devastation which befalls families, particularly widows, who had not proactively planned for life without the family bread-winner. After graduating from CUNY-Baruch College in 1973 with a BBA in Finance, Mr. Blair continued to pursue his two avocations, thanatology and finance. He continued to support both emotionally and through financial services, bereaved members of families until he decided to make a career change in 1984 when he joined Fundamental Brokers, Inc. Mr. Blair sold the family business in 1988, left the brokerage business in 1990 and began work as a Certified Financial Planner, opening The Blair Group, Inc. in 1991. Mr. Blair has been married for almost 50 years. His wife, Margaret Ann, is currently retired after 50 years in Education.
