What is a Legacy:
Legacies are often thought of as assets left behind to those who come after, but that is not all they could be. A legacy is shaped through the moments of decision that reveal what we value. It not only shapes what assets we leave behind, but the people we've impacted. Wealth can reflect a legacy, but how it is obtained, and to whom it is left are equally important to its creation.
What is Stewardship:
A steward stands in a position of trust, managing and caring for entrusted resources in a way that exemplifies the values of the owner.
Uncommon Stewardship
Carle G. Blackwell
February 17,1930 - August 5, 2021
The Legacy of Blacor began when Carle Blackwell set out to offer private investment advice. He had just moved to Indianapolis after serving as a submariner in the Korean war. After serving in the US Navy, he carried his commitment to serve into the financial industry. In 1959 Carle began to lay the groundwork for a Legacy of financial stewardship that would carry on for generations. In 2019, his son and grandson would relaunch the company he founded, carrying on his legacy as financial advisors.
However, the Legacy of Blacor does not encompass the life Carle led. A legacy is much more than a business or inherited assets, it is marked by the direction a person moves toward. A legacy is reflected by a business and can certainly impact the size of an estate, but Carle’s real legacy is revealed by the values he instilled in others and the way he moved hearts. He was a man of service, principle, and faith. These values guided the advice his clients received, the man his family loved, and life he led. His legacy not only lives on through his business, but the lives he impacted as a husband, father, friend, and steward.
