Not sure what to say?

Dr Blackstock was the Dr who delivered me. He was our family Dr for many years and I always liked him. I always enjoyed going to my Dr visits because he was always so kind hearted and genuinely interested in my well being. I miss him very much.

Dr. Blackstock was my moms doctor so of course became the family physician for my sisters and I. I can remember as a child I felt he really cared about what I was saying and feeling. I was never afraid to go to the Doctor and I have never forgotten him.

He delivered me in 1956 and was my doctor for many years. I always liked him because he was easy to talk to and was very compassionate. I feel honored to have known him and have him as my doctor for many years.

Truly an amazing man...true friend and the doctor we all want as our own.
Condolences to his family and thank you for sharing him with us

Dr. Blackstock was compassionate, caring, and kind. I can well remember him coming to our home, carrying his black bag to assess a family member's health. That was in the 50's and today, following Dr. Blackstock's example, I too provide home health care to those too ill to go see the doctor. I am honored and blessed to have known him.

My condolences to Dr. Blackstock's family. Dr. Blackstock was our family physician for many years. As a matter of fact, he delivered me at Seton in 1965. He was a wonderful and compassionate physician and I'm honored to have known him.

Dr. Blackstock was a true friend to my mother, Kathryn Turner, as well as a mentor to her and so many others. He will greatly missed.

Family of Kathry Turner, RN - Dave, Micheal, Carol Sue, and Jim.

Matt was one of my earliest heroes. He lived in our home as a preceptor with my father, J.M.Bauknight,M.D. He always would have time for me even though I was only 5 years old. Over the next 60 years I would see him from time to time, and the occasion would always bring back wonderful, warm memories. Thank You Matt and special thanks to you Mary for sharing him with so many people.

Dr. Blackstock was the first person to ever see me (he was he doctor that helped my mom deliver me and my sisters). I have very fond memories of him being our family doctor and I was NEVER afraid to walk into his office when I was a child.

Several years ago I was at Dillards in Highland Mall and I saw him walking to his car. I chased him down and told him who I was and who my mother was, and he remembered her (Doris Wolff Barron). I'm sure my mom met him at Heavens Gate, she was...
