Paul M. Blackburn Jr. Obituary
Heaven gained a very special person last week. With family members present, Paul M. Blackburn Jr. passed away peacefully on November 27 in Dunedin Florida at the wonderful age of 95. Paul was a World War II Navy veteran, and a graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in Electrical Engineering.
After graduation, Paul worked for two firms before starting his own consulting business, Metzger & Blackburn. Paul served on the Building Commission of Central Ohio for over 30 years, including a tenure as Chairman. He was also very active in the community, as an engaged member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Reynoldsburg Ohio, Sertoma International, and the Masonic Order.
Paul was a passionate supporter of Alcoholics Anonymous, serving as a member for 52 years, and selflessly dedicating his spare time helping people lead sober lives (in lieu of flowers, donations to Alcoholics Anonymous are requested, and may be done via the organization's website). Paul is survived by his sister, Carol Shaw and his children, Paul F. Blackburn (Ursula), Amanda Lee, Sandra Edwards (David), Gerald Blackburn (Nidsuda), David Blackburn, Raymond Blackburn (Jill), Eric Blackburn (Gail), six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
