Harry John Bealke Jr.

Harry passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He grew-up in the Frogtown neighborhood of St. Paul. A 1948 graduate of Saint Agnes High School, Harry was a gifted athlete and three-sport letterman in football, basketball and baseball. During the Korean Conflict, Harry served his country in the army stationed in Alaska. His 31-year career with the United States Postal Service, brought him great personal fulfillment and a lasting camaraderie with fellow co-workers. His good “people skills” allowed him to have success selling real estate on the side.  Harry’s love for sports was a common thread he shared with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He followed all their athletic and life achievements with great interest and enthusiasm. Harry loved traveling, spending leisure time in Florida and fishing at his cabin.
