Bradley O'Hara was much more than a friend to me, He was a father figure who helped shape my life in a positive direction. He instilled a work ethic and taught me the meaning of independence. When I look at my successes, I know that I could have never accomplished what I have without him. On behalf of my wife Susan and my three children Krystal, Katelynn and Paul Jr. Thank You Brad.

To the O'hara Family, we express or deepest sympathy and heart felt sadness. In the 1960's I worked for Brad when he managed the big boats. The last boat I fished on was the "J. Bradly O'Hara". He was my Boss, but always treated me like a little brother. We kept in touch occasionally over the years by phone, talking about the old days Thanks for being part of my life Brad.

DEAR DAD,

I AM A BETTER PERSON TO HAVE HAD YOU AS A DAD AND LEADER. THE PAST FIVE YEARS LIVING WITH YOU HAS MADE ME BECOME WHO I AM TODAY AND I WILL NEVER HANG MY HEAD LOW BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU HAVE SHOWN ME TO LIVE AND HELP AND CARE FOR OTHERS. THERE WILL NEVER BE A PERSON THAT I WILL LOVE OR RESPECT AS MUCH AS I DO WITH YOU. DONT WORRY BIANKA HAS KEPT YOUR BED WARM FOR YOU AT NIGHT AND SHE WILL SEE YOU SOON UP AT THE PEARLYGATES.... I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY BABY BUT YOU WILL BE LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE WATCHING OUT FOR HER OR HIM AND FOR THAT GLEIBYS AND I WILL ALWAYS CARRY IN OUR HEARTS .P.S. BRUNO ALSO CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN THROW THE BALL TO HIM HE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR YOU WITH THE DAMN BALL IN HIS MOUTH..... OK DAD I HAVE TO SAY BYE FOR NOW BUT NOT FOR EVER!!!!



WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

Like a ship lost at sea, Brad will always remain on our minds and in our hearts. Out of sight, but always there, just beyond the haze on the horizon. The quick wit, the often sarcastic jabs, the two cans of frosting on every cake, the laughter, the love, the stories, the questions;this was all Brad. Sharp, rough and tumble, sometimes downright agrivating, yet always a real softy on the inside. He truly was the leader of the pack; a guy with limitless help to give and sage advice to go along with it. Most memorable for us was Brad's sense of humor. Even in the darkest of times, Brad had the ability to take away the worry and crack everyone up. My particular favorite was when J. Bradley would pretend he was furious just to come up with some side splitting punch line instead. He will be missed but never forgotten! Much Love
