What I grew up hearing is that his grandfather and my great-grandfather were 2 of the 4 Gleason brothers that came over from Ireland,3 settled in IL, and the 4th (his grandfather) in the NY area.

He was a great entertainer and had family in my area apparently (Melbourne, FL). Loved you in the Steve McQueen movies. Didn't care for the Honeymooners because of all the arguing and yelling (which I could get enough at home). You WERE the greatest, fat man.Michael Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577443437215936884noreply@blogger.com
