Blake played golf with a number of different golfers at the Four Mile Golf Club. I speak for all of those. We are numbed by the news of Blake's passing and there will be a void in our hearts forever. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to know Blake and play golf with him. What a gentle man.
