Dear Phillip,David and Mrs. Blackmon; My wife and I send our sincere condolences in the passing of my (our) good buddy Ned... I Met Ned many years ago while with U S Customs and never doubted the sincerity of Ned in all encounters..will miss seeing him and the annual events he became so well known for...generous and charitable, of course..all that knew him on the waterfront will sorely miss him..May The Good Lord be with all of you in the comming days....

Joe and I will miss Uncle Ned very much! He was such a caring and generous man. Always on the go! He loved my Mother's chicken stew. I have such fond memories of him during my childhood. He would always take the kids somewhere and it was always a great time. Bless you all! I am thinking of you! Love ya! Sybil O'Donnell and Joe of course (He called on Joe often)

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Wanda,Bill,Little Bill and Jessica and the entire Blackmon Family,
Thoughts and prayers are with you all. May all the good memories bring you comfort.

Dear Aunt Ruth, Phillip, David and Sherry: Words cannot express our heavy hearts at this time and how much we care about you all and will miss Uncle Ned dearly. He touched so many hearts with his generosity. Our family is so blessed to have him as our uncle and my dad was blessed to have him as a brother. A trip to South Carolina was not a trip unless we all gathered and Uncle Ned told his stories and made us all laugh. Jake and Beckah will forever remember Uncle Ned driving down the street in his riding lawnmower as if it were his mode of transportation. We love you all and will forever remember our beloved Uncle Ned. Love Trina Mae, Dan, Jake, and Rebekah.

dear Phil and family. i was so sorry to hear about Ned. You and your family stories will always make me laugh. I hope you keep him close in your heart.

Ruth, Words can`t express how we feel. Ned was loved by so many. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. We will cherish all the great momories.

With Love, Ted and Jill Hebert

For my Uncle, his generosity and guidance helped me climb from humble country origins to see a larger world with exciting places and busy streets. He taught me more about life in a week of play than I've been able to get from a 50 people in 50 years.

I wish could have met with him just one more time, if only to say “Hi Uncle Ned”. It is unlikely that I would have said more, it was always enough. I loved and respected him, and his loss pains me greatly. But, I carry his laughter and joy in my heart forever, together with fond and warm memories of his generosity and open hearted friendship to everyone.

While I am one uncle shorter, God is one man better.

May he now walk the halls of the righteous and good with God Almighty.

Amen.

Ruth and family
It was our pleasure to get to know you and Ned. Ned was a fantastic man and his work on earth is done, but he will be waiting for us in a better place, probably looking for his glasses and cigarettes as we speak.
Reggie and Judy Whisnant

Ruth,
No words I can say will ease the emptiness you feel. Only GOD and time will help. Ned was a wonderful man and you were blessed to have him for so many years.I am so sorry my health prohibited me from being there for you. You know I love you and you are in my my thoughts and prayers. May Ned's memory be a blessing.

Dear Dave and Family,

We were all deeply saddened to hear the news about Ned's passing.
I just wanted to drop a line to share with you how much of a privilege
it was for me to have gotten the chance to meet and know Ned. He is
a unique man, a good man; and now that his race here on earth
has been run, I am sure he is resting comfortably in the house of our Lord.

(a poem for the family)

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God would call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the Blackmon Family
Sorry to here of your loss. Ours thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Eric & Sharon Henderson

To all the Blackmon family, my prayers are with you and Ned.
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry to hear of Ned's passing. If we can help please give us a call.

Richard and I want to extend our most sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Ned. No amount of sympathy can make the hurt go away, but please know that he will be waiting for you a the "gates".

We have fond memories of the times he invited us to the parties on the loading dock of the warehouse on Meeting Street Road. We will also miss the help and guidance he gave us as a member of the Exchange Club.

Again, our prayers are with you in this time of your grief.

Your friends,
Richard and Elaine Jackson

Ned will always have a special place in my heart. He was a good friend and always there when I had a question or needed a favor. My thoughts & prayers are with you all. We were all blessed to have had him in our life. He is with God now.

Dear Ruthie and Family,

I was so sad to learn this news. Unfortunately, I am traveling and cannot get back to Charleston. I wish I could be there with you and the family. Please know that I will be remembering you and your family in my prayers. I loved Ned, he was one of the first people on the waterfront I met when I got into that business back in the 80's. He will be a great loss to all.

With Deep Sympathy, Maria Slawson

Ruth, I'am so sorry to hear about Neds passing. I always like Ned when he would come in the station and he and SL would always have some kind of bull going on. Ned was always in a hurry, his business was very important to him as it should have been. Don't know if you remember me I'am Kathy that use to work at Ashley Service Station. Once again very sorry to hear about Ned.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Ruth and Family,
Tom and I were saddened to learn of Neds passing. He was a true friend. Generous, kind, understanding and always working to enrich the lives of others. He was loved and will be missed by many. If love could have saved you Ned, you never would have died. May you my dear friend now rest in peace amongst the angels and our Lord. We have indeed lost a Jewel..Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
