"I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Blooper...he gave me my first constuction job and I was always so thankful for it. My fondest memories of my childhood growing up in Winchester are the days I spent in and around the country club in my teens. Blooper was always on the golf course and always had a kind word for me whenever I saw him. Whether he knew it or not, he was an inspiration to me and I will always remember him. "God Speed" Blooper Robertson...see you on the links one day! Phillip Scharber"
