Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said the elderly Aberdeen couple shot to death at their Roseland Road home on Friday were âpillars of our community.â
âThey were both widely known and loved,â Fields said of D.P. and Mary Lou Black. âTheir deaths have been a tremendous loss for us all.â
D.P. Black, 91, owned Blackâs Paving and Construction, a business he and his wife ran together for more than 50 years. Pam Dowd, who worked for D.P. Black in the 1980s, said her former boss would âgive you the shirt off his back.â
âIf you needed a job, heâd give you a job,â she said. âAnd if he didnât have any jobs available, heâd get you to wash his truck or do yard work at his house just so youâd have some money in your pocket. He was always helping people.â
