Blackie was a true friend and a real Southern Gentleman. If not for Blackie, his advice and contributions, I would never have published Southern Sensations Magazine in the late 80’s. His knowledge and skills of so many different subjects will never be matched. Thank you Blackie! Will truly miss talking to you. This world will be so much worse off without you. RIP My Friend.
