Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

May the memory of your fathers love help you all heal through your grief. He was a beautiful person. You were blessed to have him as your father. He is at peace once again by his loving Alice's side.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. I will miss " Blackie" so much. I enjoyed our talks and his smile. He always brought a smile to my face. It was a blessing to know him. Rest easy my friend

Blackburn family,
Heartfelt condolences for your loss. Ed was quick with a smile and a kind word. I will always remember him that way. Even if you never felt like talking, he always made you feel welcomed and drew a conversation out of you. May you find some peace in your precious memories. He will be missed...

Blackie will always be remembered for volunteering his time to the North Branch Trout Derby Association, handing out candy to all the ladies, watching the Line Dancers and socializing at the local pubs. He always wore a smile and was quick to strike up a conversation. He enjoyed his music and dancing and was fun to watch. We are really going to miss our friend.

We spent a lot of time with Blackie at the Lovelton Hotel and the Tombstone. What a gentleman Blackie was. He loved to dance and loved John Denver songs and Notre Dame Football. We truly loved his company and miss seeing his smile. Rest In Peace our Friend.
