Harold Dean Bellucci

Family and neighbors in Tucson mark the death of Harold Dean Bellucci on August 14, 2026. He was 70. Born May 7, 1956 in Tucson, carrying Italian-American stories that arrived without footnotes. From the start, he treated promises like tools: keep them sharp, do not lend them lightly. He drove children across heat that turned asphalt soft. A bus schedule laminated twice survived summers that melted lesser paper. Colleagues still mention a bus schedule laminated twice. He and Margaret married in 1983 and raised a son and a daughter without needing an audience. After Margaret's death in 2019, he held to quiet habits—coffee before dawn, a tended yard, a voice on the phone that still checked in. Neighbors remember someone who knew every child's name on the block. He liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. He died in Tucson, among streets he never needed to explain. The radio is still tuned to the station that played while work got done.
