Black -- W. DeWitt Black, Jr. The life of W. DeWitt Black, Jr., a cherished friend and colleague, ended May 1, 2002 at age 93. He had been a resident of Parkmore Village Care Home in Colorado Springs, Colorado for nearly a decade where received excellent care, and continued his gift for friendship among the residents and staff. Beginning in 1946, he was a resident of Albuquerque, residing at 7711 Hermanson Place, NE until 1986. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 42 years, Geraldine Holmes Black, originally of Abilene, Texas who taught elementary school in the Albuquerque Public Schools for over 25 years. His three children and their families, Gerri Gail Stanford of Colorado Springs, Jan Aregood of Lakewood, Colorado, and Dave Black of Tucson, Arizona; a sister Elizabeth Bingham of Abilene, Texas; seven grandchildren; and one great grandchild survive him. He was born in the family of a pioneer doctor, W.D. Black, in Barstow on the West Texas Panhandle, where he had four beloved siblings, Land, a brother whom he was especially close, Mary Eleanor, Elizabeth, and Carolyn. He revered his father and his mother Lizzie Y., for their devotion to community. His father perfected house-call medicine for nearly sixty years on the Texas Panhandle, first by horse and buggy, later by Model A, and was known to have delivered several generations of the same family. DeWitt was only several generations removed from the arrival of the Black family to America from Scotland in 1710 and his grandfather, Charlie Black, fought in the Civil War at the age of 14. A successful businessman all his life, he was the owner of Black's Furniture at 1600 San Pedro N.E. for over twenty years. He was a loyal contributor and respected member of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau. His response to the uncertainties and unpredictability of the business world were hard work, and a focus on customer service. He understood the simple satisfaction that comes with a job well done. DeWitt Black was a long-standing member of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque where he served as both Deacon and Elder for over 35 years. He played a key role on their fundraising and youth activities committees. He provided extensive material and logistical support to the Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts sponsored by the Immanuel Church. He was a respected and trusted friend of many fellow church members and, on numerous occasions, helped organize them to provide anonymous assistance to community citizens in need. he did not stand in judgement of others, as he understood instinctively from his Great Depression years that hard times could befall anyone. He became a member of the Assembly of God during the last twenty years of his life. In both associations, he lived his values. In spite of the loss of his beloved wife, Geraldine in 1981, and formidable physical ailments in recent years he remained an excellent mentor, remarkable storyteller, and example to us all, ever optimistic and courageous. Through his humble and kind nature, he shared a special light with this world that we will carry with us always.
