A Special Appreciation to one of the Greatest Educators & Christian Man I Know. God has called one of his Special Children home. Memories will always be in our minds. Such a Great Educator and Christian Brother. He has touched the lives of so many students. College, Church & Sports fans. He was my Basketball Coach at East Lamar School near Paris, Tx in the 1950's. He and Betty (His Wife) were our special friends. I never realized he would be our Special Coach and keep in touch with his little school kids for 64 years. When He and Richard came down this summer, we never realized it would be his last trip. We got a group together & had a Reunion. (See Photo) We all loved to Reminisce over our "Good ole Days". How I wish every student could have the memories that I have of My Favorite Coach & Teacher. We Love You Dr. Blackbourn. Thank You For The Memories, Mary Lou Skidmore Coe, Paris Tx

Richard and family, We are sad to learn of your dad's passing. What a legacy he leaves. You were blessed with a wonderful dad. Blessings for each of your family as you grieve your loss and celebrate his life. We are leaving for MS tomorrow, but will not be there in time to attend services. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Vic and Jane
