I am saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I lived a couple of houses up the street. Both Ginny and Dave were great neighbors and kind-hearted people. When you're a little kid you tend to categorize the neighbors as those who are either "friendly" or "grumpy". "The Blackburns" were friendly. They always had a "wave and a smile" when we'd ride by on our bikes or when they'd drive by in their car. They'd even talk to us if they were out in the yard when we passed by.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Blackburn's passing, I grew up across the street from the Blackburns and my mom and I liked Dave and Ginny very, very much. After my mom had to enter the nursing home a few years ago, Dave would ask me about her every time I went over to check on the house and he often visited her at the nursing home. Mom and I are both saddened to hear this, our sincere condolences to the family.

I worked with Dave for years at the Bosch and knew him to be a smart, helpful man who was extremely professional and very helpful to us "young guys." His work was as near to perfection as I have seen. They don't make Dave's type anymore. He will be missed.
My condolences to his family.

God bless you each with good memories of and thanks for the past together - and with hope for the future. I'm David's youngest cousin, so I remember him as a navy hero - and a great all around,easy going older guy and as an avid fisherman. May he rest in peace and hope.
