So sorry Dr Blakey. you were the best Dr in the world not only did you treat myself my 5 babies but was there for my mother when she passed and did home visits to my home to care for my daddy.

Dr. Churchill Blakey was our family physician for many years. He was brilliant, gracious, and hard working. He saw us for appointments as early as 5 a.m., and always had a solid diagnosis. His knowledge and skills were of a great benefit to us here in New Jersey. I am grateful for his outstanding service to us. My sincere sympathy to the Blakey Family in the loss of this fine gentleman. Most sincerely, Elaine V. Dillon, Williamstown, NJ

Dr. Blakey was my doctor for many years. I have fond memories of my visits. I considered him an old fashion country doctor. Always willing so see you on short notice. And a wonderful bedside manner. He will be greatly missed

What a wonderful man he was. I was very sick with endometriosis most of my life. He took care of me. No matter what time of day or night he came to my home and gave me a shot to get me through it. He promised he would find the best in endometriosis and he did. We have two beautiful children and a 14 month old grandchild because of him. He wasn´t only a doctor but a dear friend. The funniest time with him was when he took my blood pressure and then ran out of the room. He came running...

My name is Daniel morris. I just heard about Dr. Blakey. He was an amazing man. He went out of his way to take care of our family. He will definitely be missing by us and many others

Dr.Blakey was a wonderful doctor and an intelligent and thoughtful advocate for his beliefs. His humor was contagious. He was a warm and kind professional. Joe Manganello

Truly a doctor´s doctor. Very professional, brilliant, kind, compassionate, honest, forthright, Dr Blakey was the first to diagnose my fathers melanoma (buying him some amount of time before his inevitable passing (at age 53 in 1973). He made house calls! My mother and he had lively intelligent discussions, 2 academics...he in his soft southern demeanor, and my mother in her midwestern gentle way, each sparring laughingly about ideas of the day. Mom gifted him with a beautiful glass elephant...

I served with Churchill for a number of years on Wenonah Council. It was my pleasure to debate with him the issues that were before us. Always a gentleman whose concern was the effect on our citizens of any action we might take. I also considered him my friend. We, as a group, lost a "good" one. Jeff Sprigman

I will always cherish my memories of Dr Blakey as a physician friend and neighbor in Wenonah. Love and prayers for Gretchen and family. I will remember Churchill forever singing Christmas carols.
