Condolences to Clint Black, whose father G.A. Black took his own life this past Sunday. Apparently, declining health and the loss of his wife a year and a half ago led him to end his suffering.  Clint says, “Our family is devastated by this news. We are still in the beginning stages of preparations to honor our father, and at this time, we respectfully ask for privacy until we have had the opportunity to fully process what’s transpired over the last 48 hours.” Mr. Black was 78.
