Condolances to the Blackwell Family,
I had pleasure sitting with David some time ago while writing the history of the Kaiapoi Fire Brigade to where his knowledge was invalueable and will be sorely missed.

David and I had some great moments and much laughter as we prepared the history of Blackwell's Department Store. This is now a fitting volume to his memory. Colin Amodeo

Our thoughts are with the family at this time. It has been a privilege to have known "Mr B" over the years both privately and as a former employee. He had a great wealth of knowledge and was every interested about the community. He will be sadly missed. Sally & David Howell

It was always a pleasure to bump into David around the town and stop for a chat. As the head of a family who continue to be such a large presence in the lives of the Kaiapoi community he has been an important and well loved figure and we will miss him.

Mr Blackwell, (you will always be 'Mr Blackwell' to me), you have been a wonderful family man as well as a successful business man and business leader in Kaiapoi and wider North Canterbury. I am so pleased to have had a loveley catch-up at the Art Show recently. You have built a huge legacy Mr Blackwell. Rest peacefully now. Pete Vink
