"I know he is watching us all look at his life. He was so liked and loved by so many this helps us feel he is still here, WHICH I happen to believe he is! He is unseen, unheard which was never the case with OUR sweet Blackie but I do believe. I hope some one in family will put on pictures of when he was a baby and they would call him "chip-monk" because of his little fat cheeks, a great family video. Just want to thank you so much for putting on all the great pictures and to say this is a wonderful site FOREVERMISSED. I know it is helping many of us work thru this. I have passed it on to many. THANK YOU"

joyce, i never met you personally- but my story starts by telling you that vern and cindy were guests at my high school graduation- 50 years ago. they knew my mom. i got aphone call one night while at my moms house,she was calling me from work and wanting to know if i would come and cover a shift for a waitress that couldnt come in. i was young, in a bad marriage and had a young infant. i went that night, and the first bartendet i ever worked with was joel. awesome for me as i did not know one drink from another. when i left that night clayton asked me to put my number on the milk machine and he would have me back. i told him my phone was disconnected due to my situation. he took the money from his pocket to pay my phone bill, and let me tell you- til the day he died he NEVER let me pay that back- as hard as i tried. enter blackie and jerry!!! i went from working for the belmont to working at the showboat, and worked for them for many years- at many of their places. those two guys were the best bosses i have had in my entire life.if you were a friend of theirs- you were a friend for life.funny too as i wanted to be a lawyer, but remained a waitress and bartender all my life, mostly from their influence on me. your loss is huge- but let me tell you- blackie lived large, loved deeply, friended everyone that crossed his path, and danced to his own music. but i dont have to tell you that- you were married to him- you lnow better than most what kind of guy he was.i will also miss him every day of my life- they dont make them like that much anymore- my heart is hurting for your loss. he is resting in the hands of god- he earned that place along the way by the kind way he treated people. peace to you and his family .

OH gosh so happy that you can do it for me. I REALLY would have started long-ago. The video is very good. I loved it. I'm sorry to say I do not know if Della REMEMBERS me but I started with the LANDERVILLE'S back when VERN had the Showboat and Blackie was there too, but I was before him. Then Gary had me lease his kitchen at Lamplighter. From there I ALSO went with Jerry and worked at Old Mexico. AND then when Jerry went back to take care of some stuff at Gabe's he asked me to help him there. So I've been in all their business"s as far back as when Gabe was alive. They all became my family!! I Loved them all, the greatest Family. Blackie loved all but Della was the greatest for him So I do know a lot and they were blessed with giving joy and laughter. Gary would fly BLACKIE and friends and myself up to Park Rapids to my folks place for lunch. They had a hotel and a great Italian restaurant. My mom loved to have the cooks to make them everything on the menu lol and they would eat it all. When things happen you think of so much. Their whole family had just the best sense of humor very well known and very well lliked. I Hope- you can put on some stuff of the family that I wrote. I would like to praise Jerry for all the things he did were not in vain Blackie was happy to have him there with him not knowing Jerry was hurting too for his brother. you will have to put on what you think is right for the sight out of all I wrote yesterday and today for our sweet Blackie and family. just surprise me. I am just not a writer I have information but not savy on how to word or put on this wonderful site thank you again. MY thoughts and prayers are with BLACKIE and the family. thank you so much.

OH yes and I remember one other special day when MY SON HAD DIED and Blackie would try to cheer me up by aking me up to Gary's Farm to can pickles. Oh the memories I know he is here reminding me.
