Malger "Blackie" Magilke

Although I am now grown into a young lady at age 23, I will never forget when I was a young girl between the ages of about 5 and 9, Blackie would always offer to take me along in his Studebaker in the parades that I attended with my grandparents (Bernadine and Jack Harris, friends of Blackie and Chic's). I loved to ride with Blackie because he always had treats for me and told me jokes the whole way. Thanks for all the laughs and smiles! Love, Renae

Dear Chic and family,

My deepest sympathy to you all. We will miss Blackie coming by the office and sharing good stories, and a cup of coffee, and the occasional joke. Blackie was one of a kind. He will be missed by many. Take care.

Debbie and family, My most sincere condolences to you all in the loss of your father. My greatest memory is listening to you, Debbie, tell a tale, a funny story, about him, and the love and adoration that was in your voice. May your happy memories of him help to comfort you in the coming days, weeks and months.

Chic and family,
I loved Blackie. Loved his name Malger. Has such a nice sound. Loved his stories and jokes, he always had such a great sense of humor and compassion. We'll miss him.

My ddepest sympathy go out to the entire family especially to Chic, Debbie and Jackie. Blackie was a great and good man with many talents. He touched many lifes and will be missed by all.

Friendship is a journey of time, love, and memories. We feel honored that we have enjoyed all three with Blackie. May time and love bring Blackie's family peace.

Blackie was mans man no dought. I came to know Blackie with my friends Rick and his brother Louie.Blackie was the kind of guy you just liked to be around,he could build anything and he did with his hands. My best time i ever spent with Blackie was when Rick,Louie,and i built a trailor at Blackies, He did most of the work but the time and the chat we shared was priceless. Blackie was like a father to the Eastman boys.Knowing Blackie hes up there now starting his own shop up. Restoring cars or...

We will miss you Blackie.

My Dear Aunt Chickie and family,my deepest sympathy to all of you. We have parted with one of the greatest people I'll ever have been able to know. My last visit with him on the phone and to receive a Christmas card from just two weeks ago. He brought so much life to any gathering we ever shared. I never knew if he was joking or sincere. He is now at rest and know he'll be watching over all of you. Peace to him and all of you. Love, Marlene
