I'm going to miss the happy tears, gasping for air stomach cramp laughter we used to experience in our talks. I will miss my trips to Orangeburg, South Carolina to visit you, but I know you are in a better place now without pain and discomfort. I will always love you. Rest in peace Uncle Forrest.

To the Family and Friends of Mr. Blunt. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts not only today but also in days to come. Mr. Blunt was a phenomenal man and professor. There were many days I would go by Mr. Blunt's office to have a laugh, eat a curly burger, or help him grade tests. Over the years, I constantly searched social media to reach out to him to say "Thank you" but never seemed to come across his profile. May Almighty God gently guide your soul home.

Michael L. Furman (SCSU Class of 1985)

To the Family of Mr. Blunt: Mr. Blount was one of my professors at South Carolina State University(class of 1983). He was a great teacher and a funny teacher. Our class was never dull. He will always be in my heart and the great memories. Sending my prayers and condolences to the family. Della Taylor Hubbard Class of 1983 SCSCU Bulldogs!
