Terry Black passed away on 6.2.2022. He began his career as a coin collector in Ft. Smith & retired as the SBC-AR 911 DB manager in Little Rock. He knew more about the 911 DB & 911 addressing than anyone I ever worked with. I can't tell you how many counties that he helped address or how many novices he trained. He certainly was patient with me and joyfully enriched my worklife. I will miss taking pot shots with him and hearing, " Bryant, you don't have to tell everything you know!" I don't know if Heaven is 911 addressed, so maybe he'll have a super project waiting for him. Love you, Blackster.

Ryan and Josh,
Joe and I were so sad to hear about your dad’s passing. He and Lynda were wonderful neighbors for many years. May time decrease your grief and heighten your memories of a fantastic man.

Enjoyed his humor and posts on Facebook... We were High School friends, separated by choice of Military Service... The world is a lesser place but still a great memory of him...

To the family of Terry Black:
I think of Terry and how much he meant to the 9-1-1 community. He was part of a team that was instrumental in our success as managers for cities. We were all like family, my heart broke when I heard he had been ill. I'm so sorry for your loss and ours. We loved Terry like a brother.
Respectfully,
Ms Lee (Black) Shaw
