I have fond childhood memories of Mr. Blackwood. I lived in the same neighborhood and played dolls with his daughter, Emily, and Indian's with his son, Vaden. I always felt welcome in their home. I remember his driveway full of Rambler cars. A house full of children and love. My heart goes to everyone in his family at this time of sadness.
