My heartfelt condolences to all the family. Blake was not just a customer for many years, but a friend as well.
Always had something to add at our bar. Especially when the conversation was about golf. :)
Many pleasant memories where Blake is concerned. Come to think of it Blake was our last "Schlitz" drinker. lol.
Bless your family. I know Blake is sitting at the big nineteenth hole in the sky, sipping on a Schlitz.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Chaney was a good neighbor and we always have a bit of a conversation when we saw each other walking in the neighborhood. The Chaney family is in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Blake was a very good friend to a lot of people especially the Mack Truck golf league where he was the president of the golf league. We all will really miss Blake. May God bless Blake and the family.
