Not sure what to say?

Mr. Blanton was such a good neighbor to us when we lived on Fargo Drive. We were young and newly married and it felt good to have such a nice family living next door to us. Our hearts go out to the whole family. May wonderful memories bring you comfort and peace.

Dear Blanton family--
Hal was a long time friend since we went all the way through school together graduating from RE Lee in 1955. I sometimes ran into him here and there, but when I worked for the FL DOH, he came there as a fire marshall. We'v kept up with each other through FB. My sympathy to the family.

I'm lighting this candle in the memory of Harold Blanton, father of Don and father-in-law of Amy. Our family is saden by your loss and our prayers are with you and all of your family.

Dear Blantons,

We love your family and so sorry for your loss. What an amazing man. We will always be thankful and remember him for being such a dear and godly influence on our family.

Barbara:

My heart is very sad with the loss of my friend Hal. Our friendship was always very special. During a lifetime, having more than a couple of friendships like we shared would be very unusual. I was very blessed to have had a friend like Hal and will miss him very much.

We shared many fun times growing up together. We met at Murray Hill Baptist Church when we were around 9 years old. My mind is filled with many fond memories of our days at Murray Hill Baptist,...

My deepest regrets to the family. Hal was a fine person who will be missed by many. My prayers are with each of you.

I didn’t know Hal but I believe that I knew his dad, Harry Blanton. I was in the Sea Cadets during the mid 60’s and Harry Blanton donated a lot of his time in getting the diesel engine working for the Sea Cadets. He was a great mechanic and an amazing person. The boat was the “Gertrude B”, a forty foot steel hull boat docked at Beach Marine. If this was Hal’s dad, I wish I had known him to share a few stories about his dad. I am sorry for your loss. God Bless.
