I have so many fond memories of Pops, it’s hard to narrow it down to the best few. I remember picking string beans in the backyard, his impeccable sock/ berkinstock sandel fashion statements and him saving me from a near faital red ant attack when I was little. As I got older I remember his one liners, eating the grossest thing with little to no reaction (like the skunk jelly bean) and his love of the two for 1 Long Island ice teas at chilies. It’s sad to think I won’t get to laugh with him over the FaceTime that he can’t figure out anymore. That when we see each other he won’t exclaime with a huge smile “who’s this beautiful girl, is that my granddaughter? You’ve gotten tall! You’re almost as tall as me” to which I would respond “almost Pop’s”

love ya Pop. Give grandma and Marzi big hugs for me. I’ll see ya soon.

It is so hard to pick just one memory of pop when there is so many great memories I have of him. Love seeing him come home in his big old cars as long as his house. Loved his humor and how he told it like it is. The best is when Ethan was banging the drum in the living room and pop said he thought the Indians were coming for him! Loved when he came to my baseball games and golf tournaments. The best is when we would golf and we all hit monster drives and pop would hit the ball half as far but right down the middle and beat us at the end. When he had to wear suspenders as his pants would keep falling when he swung. Or when he out putted us with his 1905 wooden putter. And a more recent memory when we took him fishing and he caught the monster mino. One thing I can say is I am proud to be called a Bleakley man. Meaning grandpa passed down such great values and examples of what it takes to be a real man and work hard for your family. I am sad you are gone but rejoice you are with our father in heaven and with grandma which gives me great comfort. I hope she makes you her famous sausage bread. Love you pop you will never be forgotten.

It was always great to be with Pops. Whether it was golfing and riding together when I was young, or the time he offered me cashews the dog had just eaten from, or just a few months ago when he challenged me to finish off a plate of chicken wings with him, Pops always filled our time together with laughs and love. I'll miss him dearly, but I can't wait to golf together again one day.

in honor of Harold.

It’s hard to just narrow down one good memory of this extraordinary man....a man who worked three jobs most of his life, raised wonderful children, grand children and great grand children. When I was little he would impersonate Popeye and Barney Rubble he was my personal cartoon and he did such a great job. Weather he was falling asleep with me in church on Sundays or trying to devour an entire corn on the cob with his teeth popping out at nearly every bite. It’s hard to sum up this man in one small story, but if you want to hear more just ask and I can reminisce about how much I love this man and will miss him.

I don’t have only one or two happy memories of you I have millions. I love when we would have coffee out on the veranda, the laughs we had while playing cards. I loved that I always felt safe and taken care of with you. I was so blessed to have you as a father. You were my daddy, my Stanley, my confidante, my friend. I’ll miss you, until we meet again. Love you. ~Roxanne~

I have fond memories of playing golf with Pops for many years. I also remember playing cards with him and OL during long visits in Florida in the summer.Most of all I have great memories of how much he loved his wife, children and all of his extended family. I will miss you but know that you are at peace and have OL, Marlene and all of if your family who have passed before you, surrounding you with love. Luv and miss you Pops. Robert
