January 23, 2011

I unfortunately never got a chance to know my cousin or learn from him the great game of golf. I only accidentally found out from someone who knew the Blairs in Saint Louis, John and Peggy Vaughn, that he had recently died. My sisters, Mary Blair and Travis, as well as myself, pass on our sincere condolences and would, if possible, like to renew our family ties. My mother was Grace Mary Blair (Mary Turner) and my grandmother was Grace Blair. Jim Blair was my Uncle .When I was eight I and my family moved to Atlanta so we did not get many opportunities to see our cousins. I like Sam was a Federal Prosecutor, working out of Washington D.C. and Las Vegas Nevada.
Again our sincere condolences.If possible, please email me with an address or email for someone in the family I could commuicate with Thank you, Bill Turner, 702 525 4888 Las Vegas Nevada

Around Central Missouri, Jim Tom was a legend, going back to the 50's and the Phil Cotton Tournament. The combination of power, grace, touch, and spirit are not always present in the same person. Always looked forward to seeing him, talking equipment, watching him hit it. Very sorry for your loss, Scott Bess

Mrs. Blair, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband. I knew Mr. Blair when I was Harold Goodman's secretary at GJN. Mr. Blair was always very pleasant on the telephone when he called our office, or when he visited Mr. Goodman. He was a true gentleman.
