RIP Blackie.
Good FRiend gone on with so many other memorable Freepers. Prayers for his family. He will be missed.
RIP Blackie!
Sorry, I just saw this. I just got down to Houston for my annual cancer check-up at MD Anderson.
Blackie will be greatly missed. A great, patriotic American, with whom I have shared conversation, ideas, dialog, and our commitment to this nation and its constitution for many years.
RIP, blackie, The Lord has taken you home...but you will not be forgotten here, and you will be missed.
‘Til we meet, yonder.
Rip Blackie
Sorry to hear this. RIP
I'm late getting news of Blackie passing away. He was one of the first I made contact with after posting my first thread on FR - it was about the no nukes issue (US/NZ)... ironically, in the last two days there's been a resolve on that issue.
I'd phone Blackie every so often and he tried his best to understand me, as his hearing wasn't that good and neither is my accent but he was always pleased I was checking in. He loved his motorbike and that white Ford ute with the performance chip he'd fitted! He sent eMAILs each day to me and others. He'll be sadly missed and I thank the Lord for the time we had for each other over the years. Thoughts and prayers from New Zealand for Barb and for Blackie's son who was down in California way last I heard.

Hi glock....blackie was passionate about the 2nd Amendment.
Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Kathy. Yes he was!
I was visiting the memorial wall, and to my surprise that quote wasn’t on Blackie’s tribute. I have had it on my profile page all this time. The ‘71’ link in it takes you to the thread it’s from. He and I had one of our usual 2A exchanges later in that thread :o)
I miss blackie every time, I log on to FR. I pray we will meet again, one day.
Crying. We JUST lost touch right before he died. Breaks my heart. I see Ruth died too. SO many of us from 98’ Freepers.Thanks for the ping my old friend
