Really sad that Boony's gone... top man
Very sad news. He was a great person to talk to when over there playing for the club. Also a genius at Countdown!
Terribly sad to hear this news Boonie was just a top top human being. Been very lucky enough to have created some great memories and had some brilliant times in his company. RIP Boonie, thoughts to all that were close to Blair and his family
Really sorry to hear this, please pass on our regards to the family
Devastated
So sad to hear this news. Such a top man who loved cricket. Had the privilege of playing for his The Slaughtered Lamb side in the pub 6 aside and spent many a Friday night playing darts down St Buryan. Will be missed. RIP
Such sad news. Blair always offered help and advice on the pitch and off. RIP Boony
Really sad news. A cracking chap. RIP Blair.
Very sad to hear this. Blair was just a top bloke on and off the field. RIP my friend. Burz

So sorry and sad to hear this. From Crusaders Cricket to local derbys versus St Buryan and then in the same darts team always great company and top top man. Thoughts with friends and family
That is very sad news, was very supportive when I started umpiring and was always held in such high esteem by players, colleagues and spectators.
I can only echo Tim's words: as a rookie umpire he gave me so much support and confidence. An outstanding bloke and all.
Very sad to hear, played many games with Blair both at St Just and the Cornish Crusaders, R.I.P mate
Awful news. Popular and well respected. Will be missed.
Was a great bloke. Enjoyed many a chat with Blair about many different things. Always asked how I was getting on even when I left the club if I saw him. Top chap!
One of life’s characters
Very sad news. But I’ve only happy memories, even though it was now a long time ago.
Very sad to hear this. Played against him for St Austell and with him for the Crusaders and he was a lovely sociable man. RIP
