Harold (Hal) R. Blenkhorn, 65, of Medway, died March 5th 2012 after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was the beloved husband of Elizabeth J. Blenkhorn for 41 years. Born in Hudson on October 24th, 1946 he was the son of the late Myrtle (Rogers) Blenkhorn of Berlin and the late Harold Blenkhorn of Medway. He moved to Medway in 1961 where he lived for the past 51 years. Hal was a 1964 graduate of Medway High School, served in the National Guard and was employed by the General Motors Corporation for 30 years until his retirement in 1995.
He is survived by his three sons, William and his wife Amy of Medway, Martin and his wife Tammy of Foxboro, and Hal and his wife Kimberlie of Medway and by his nine grand children, Matthew and Traci Gavaza, and Brenna and Joseph Blenkhorn of Foxboro, Jeffrey, Lindsey, and Zachary Blenkhorn of Medway, and Joel and Hannah Blenkhorn of Medway, and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his siblings, Beverly Boudreau of Stow, Walter Blenkhorn of Chester, New Hampshire, Helen Roach of Berlin, and Debra Blenkhorn of Framingham.
He had two passions in life; His family and classic cars. When he wasn’t “spoiling” his grandkids he could be found working on his cars or attending car shows and cruise nights with his wife and friends.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him, a man of honor, well respected, admirable, faithful and always willing to give of himself to others in need.
