Once met, never forgotten. A man who loved life and made the most of every minute Always a ready smile, a good joke and a poem to follow.Thanks for making mum and dad so welcome when they moved to Stawell Harold. You’ll be missed and remembered by many.
Deepest sympathy to the Blake family. What treasured memories you all have of dear Harold. I think mum and Harold will already be partying. Love to you all.
Deepest sympathy to the Blake family, it was a real privilege to know such a wonderful gentle , wise man, always telling a joke, eloquently quoting me one of his poems-a man of integrity and passion for life. Thank you Harold.
Uncle Harold I am certainly going to miss our weekly phone calls with information from trainers & jockeys regarding Tracey’s stable of horses. With more wins than losses certainly kept us interested. Hopefully your betting system of a fiver or tenner each way worked out profitable?
Deepest sympathy to the family. Bob Holloway
It was through Uncle Harold & watching his trotters with my Grandparents, Edna & Charlie Holloway that my love of horse racing began. I will miss his thoughts, advice & his cheering from the recliner when they race.
Tracey Chapman & Quick Thinker, Uncle Harold’s stable favourite.

I will miss our chats on the phone Blakey.

Oh Harold what an incredible man you were and thank you for bringing so much colour to our lives…what a fantastic friend you have been to our family!
Dad will miss your company out inspecting the sheep and cattle and crops..the Friday night get together at the Tabert with the lovely people and the entertaining stories and poetry , especialy mum…..
You are thought of and spoken of often.. we love you Harold!
Thoughts are with your family at this sad time
What an amazing life you lived, and always with that big smile on your face. Always a story to tell, and always those big, warm hugs. The memories you made with Pa and our family will stay in our hearts forever. I won’t say “rest peacefully” because I know that you’ll be up in Heaven with your mates, and beloved June, sharing tales of mischief and mayhem, and Heaven will echo with your unmistakable laughter.
Thanks for the memories Blakey

Thoughts and Condolences to family
Sincere sympathy to the Blake family. What a wonderful man he was. Such a pleasure to have known him as a part of his eventide family. And such an interesting man. Always keeping tabs on Great Western footy. Love to all family.
R.I.P. Harold. My Mum quite often relate stories to me when the two of you attended Navarre Primary School together.
So glad that I got to interview you and get the true story of the runaway train in the Navarre Railway yards in August 1940 and yours and my Grandpa’s involvement in the near disaster.
Thanks for the memories.
