Memories and Condolences
for William Blackert
September 8, 2011
I had no idea that Bill passed away. I went to Ascension School and Mt. St. Joseph with Bill and although we were not close friends, I knew him to be an outstanding individual. I was so sorry to learn of his passing.
My condolences to his family and friends.

I was sorry to learn recently that Bill had died. Other than Bill, I only knew his younger brother Bob in the Blackert family. Bill was in the first graduating turf class in the IAA and I was the turf instructor. Bill was a quiet serious student that I grew to like but not to know very well. It was a pleasure having him as a student. I have in my file two photos of that class and may have a slide of two should the family wish copies.

I worked with Bill for too many years to admit to with Patriot Homes/Lennar. He was a wonderful person to work with, and I am honored to have been graced by knowing and working with him. My family and I extend our deepest thoughts and prayers of sympathy during this difficult time. I am sorry I am unable to attend the viewings and service, but will keep the family in prayer and spirit. Kindest regards...

I may not know the Blackert family but I do know that death is not easy for anyone. But did you know that the bible fortells that soon ther will be a time where death will be no more and we will be able to be reunited with our dead love ones on earth again? Isaih 25:8(read please) gives you a breif glemse of what is involved with this prophecy I encourage all to learn more. I send my condolences to all the friends and family who were affected by this loss. You can contact me if you like.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Betsy and the family. Our kids will always remember him letting them pet the horses and watching in awe as he dug us out of two blizzards in a row. Such a wonderful man.
