LEWISTON — Albert S. “Blinky” Greenwood, 83, of Minot died early Saturday evening, Feb. 18, at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
He was born March 11, 1933, in Minot, a son of Montford and Gertrude (Alexander) Greenwood. He attended Mechanic Falls schools and 20 years after leaving school, earned his diploma.
