Obituary: Harold ‘Hal’ Glazer

Harold ‘Hal’ Glazer, at 85

Harold “Hal” Glazer, 85, of Brunswick, Georgia, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2025. Born in Boston, he was the beloved son of Gertrude and Albert Glazer, both of whom predeceased him, as did his sister, Roberta Goldstein.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Susan Glazer; children and stepchildren: Alysa O’Hara (Adrian), Neil Bednar (father to Ambrose, Ever, and Willa), and Sara Peck (Travis, son Taylor). He also leaves nephews Andrew Mark (Jennifer, son Joseph), Gary Demeyo (Kristen, daughters Lilly and Ginny), niece Karen Roberts (Peter), and lifelong friend Louis Gaynor of New Hampshire.

Hal grew up in Hull, where his lifelong love of the sea began. That passion carried into his years living in southern Florida, where he enjoyed sailing and charted courses to nearly every island in the Caribbean, including Cuba. The ocean was his sanctuary, and his adventures on the water were among his proudest joys. In addition to sailing, Hal had a deep love for motorcycles. He was proud to serve as vice president of the Eagle Riders of St. Mary’s, Georgia, where he found camaraderie and joy on the open road.

Hal’s legacy is one of adventure, family, and enduring friendships. He will be remembered for his love of sailing, his passion for motorcycles, and the pride he took in his family.
