I met Boots when he & Betty lived in Vicaya in 2001, I bought "Aces in Command" for Bob for Xmas & went to his home to have him sign it, he was so gracious & made me feel so welcome. We got to know he & Betty personally after they moved two doors from us in Country Walk & developed a warm friendship. We will miss his golf cart stopping on the way home from his many rds & hearing how he played. Betty, we are here for you whenever you need us. Our prayer is for the family to find comfort & peace with all their happy memories & we look forward to,joining Boots someday on the golf courses in heaven.
We love you
"If you stand very still in the heart of the woods you will hear many wonderful things-the snap of a twig and the wind in the trees, and the whirl of invisible wings. If you stand very still in the turmoil of life, and wait for the voice from within you will be led down the quiet pathways of wisdom and peace in a mad world of chaos and din. If you stand very still and hold to your faith, you will get all the help that you ask. You will draw from the silence the things that you need - hope and courage and strength for your task -" author unknown.
It was my great honor to be a volunteer driver for General Blasse and his wife when they came to Washington for the recent Veterans Center events. My prayers for the family and friends. Doug Blankinship
Not only was Boots an officer and a gentleman, he was a wonderful man and next door neighbor. I had the privilege to live next door to Boots and Betty for ten+ years. It was always a treat to bump into Boots and we will miss our friend. I still think of Boots every time I see a golf cart with a blue awning!
All our love to Betty!!

It was an honor to have briefly known Maj. Gen. Blesse. He was an Officer and a Gentleman in all respects. The history of his time in the Air Force was awe inspiring to listen too. Our country has lost a true hero and protector of our Freedom. God Speed!

Shirley and I always will remember the many times we had the special opportunity to see him and also have telephone chats. He represents the best of the best and forever will be honored as one of America's greatest aviation warriors. Our last conversation was just before the recent American Fighter Aces Reunion in San Diego.
