Bruce Blackman

Just remembered you the other day. You seemed like a great person. Wish I had talked to you more.
From a student :)

Mr. Blackman was a shining light in high school. A teacher you could trust, would make you laugh, and most of all taught you to think and inspired you to learn. I was so sorry to hear of his passing.

Dear Lin, Dan & Geoff,

I was so sorry to hear of your husband & father's passing. He was a wonderful teacher and I will always have fond memories of his english class. Please know the thoughts and prayers of so many of his students are with you during this difficult time.

With sincerest condolences,
Allison Cole

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I pray in the midst of your sorrow you find comfort in all
the joyful memories shared and will always cherish these beautiful memories . Romans 15:13 -

Dear Lin, Dan and Jeff I was shocked to hear about your father and Bruce. Ellen Alexander sent me the email and I am so sorry. You know he was a fabulous teacher and father and he loved all of you so much. Lin I am so sorry I do not know what to say. You and the boys lost him much too early. Remember his laugh and his smile and the happy times.

Mr. Blackman was my mentor and i did nothing but deeply appreciate everything he did for me and said to me, he was one of the most loving people in my life, i told him all of my problems and he loved me and told me to never ever look down and to always think about how tomorrow can be better... he was an inspiring teacher and human to me with an incredible meaning and a beautiful deep soul, through everything he went through he was so free spirited and showed me laughter and happiness, and i could be myself with him and i will never forget him, i was very emotionally attached to him and he will have a big spot in my heart... And to his wife and kids, i wish nothing but the best to you all and i share my deepest love.. he did not only teach me how to be a good student, he taught me to be a good person... and i will forever be so very thankful to have been blessed with him in my life.

My deepest sympathy to the family. May God be with you and may God bless you.

My heart goes out to you for your deep loss you must be feeling for your beloved Bruce. How sad to lose someone so loved and so needed. May you find comfort in prayer and in one another. (Jeremiah 29:12,13)

Heartfelt sympathy to the Blackman family. My daughters, who knew him and Geoff from Woods, adored him and were saddened by this news. Bruce was, indeed, a very good man and exemplary role model. His positive influence will be carried forward in the lives of the youth who were fortunate enough to know him. This is a lovely tribute to a life very well lived.

My prayers are with Lin and the family. I'm sure Bruce and Harvey are playing STRAT together now.

I had the great good fortune to work with Bruce at Severna Park High School. His unwavering respectful kindness toward students and staff provided a most inspiring model.
