George Edward (Eddie) Blalock, III, age 77, of Corpus Christi and formerly of

Mr. Blalock was born in Hollis, Oklahoma on December 19, 1938, to George Edward
Blalock II and Jo (Foulks) Blalock. Eddie, as he was known, was never married,
but had a large, loving family and many friends throughout his life. Eddie lived
in Mangum, Amarillo, Texas, Enid, Lubbock and Corpus Christi. A 1957 graduate of
Mangum High School, Eddie was a self-employed handyman who mowed many yards,
washed thousands of windows and fought many fires.
After graduating from Mangum High School, Eddie served in the Oklahoma National
Guard. He lived a short distance from the Mangum Fire Department and some of his
favorite times were spent playing games with the firemen and sweeping the truck
bays. As a volunteer fireman, Eddie rode his bicycle to most of the fires in
Mangum and helped with anything that needed to be done at a fire.
He is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by many cousins.
Viewing will be from 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 6 at Greer
Funeral Home.
