John S Blackard M.D

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of John. All of us lived and were neighbors on N.E. 16th Ave. In Pompano Beach. I have know John, his parents and siblings since I was 11 years old. We all attended school at the end of our street. John was not only an excellent dentist but a wood carving artist. His beautiful duck and bird carvings were superb. You will certainly be missed.

Bro- in-Law John was like a big Brother to me. I remember the first time my David introduced me to his family - John , Mar and Ruth made me feel so special and loved! Will cherish all the Sunday afternoons the 3 of us spent when my David drive us up to Stuart . And oh , the sometimes mischievous childhood stories the 2 Brothers let me hear about! Trusting John also is with our Jesus. I am so proud of being part of the Blackard family. Donna B

Dr. Blackard(Tooth, as my dad called him) was such a kind and funny man. He was one of my dad´s (John b Sweeney) best friends and Tooth would stop by our house often when I was growing up. When my dad passed, Dr. Blackard hand carved an urn out of a piece of wood he found on the beach for my mom to place my dad´s ashes. Sending much love and condolences to the Blckard family. Tight lines Tooth!

I lived next door to the Blackards and John and I were the same age. My siblings had grown and left home, so the Blackards very generously shared their family with me. We grew up together. I will always be greatful to all the Blackard family. I sincerely mourn his loss.
I salute John for a life well lived.
