Earl V. Bergenholtz, 95, passed away peacefully August 14, 2012 after a brief illness. His wife of 67 years, Edith M. (Johnson) passed away in 2010. Earl is survived by his three children, James R. Bergenholtz and his wife Christina of Grafton, Jean Rinker and her husband Maynard of Shrewsbury, and Tom Bergenholtz and his wife Marianne of Worcester. He also leaves his grandchildren Judith Jennings of Homestead, FL, Michael Jennings of Byron, GA, Eric Bergenholtz of Virginia Beach, VA, Kevin Bergenholtz of Grafton, Benjamin Bergenholtz of Bristol, RI, Nathan Bergenholtz of Baltimore, MD, six great grandchildren, four nieces and three nephews. His brothers Clifford and Edward Bergenholtz predeceased him. Earl was born May 10, 1917 in Worcester, son of the late Nannie (Johansen) and Jonthan Bergenholtz. He grew up in Worcester graduating from Boys Trade High School. He met his wife Edith and they were married just before Earl joined the U.S. Navy, serving proudly during World War II in the Pacific theatre. Following the war they started their family in Worcester before moving to Grafton in the early 1950's where they would live happily for many years. Earl worked for many years as a Tool & Dye Maker at Reed & Prince, Millard Engineering and United Tool & Dye before retiring at age 65. Earl and his wife Edith loved to vacation together in New Hampshire by the lake, and those who knew them will remember how they loved to dance. Their children will always remember music playing in their home and Earl and Edith dancing gracefully. Earl and Edith also loved following Grafton's sports teams together. Earl was an outdoorsman, he loved to fish in Maine and Vermont, was a member of the Grafton Rifle Club, The 200 Sportsman's Club, Grafton Fish & Game Club, and Coe's Pond Athletic Club. He also loved to golf with his friends and was a loyal fan of the New York Yankees. In lieu of flowers his family requests memorial donations to Good Samaritan Fund – Trinity Lutheran Church 73 Lancaster St. Worcester, MA 01609. His family also would like to thank Dr. Samant and the staff at Reliant Medical Group/Saint Vincent Hospital, and the staff at Notre Dame Health Care Center.
