Robert Blakeman, a World War II veteran, a three-term state assemblyman and former Valley Stream Village attorney, died Saturday morning. Blakeman served as Valley Stream’s village attorney for seven years and was instrumental in developing the village, said his son Bruce Blakeman, a Hempstead Town councilman. “He was really involved in the building of Long Island,” Bruce Blakeman said. Blakeman was Valley Stream village attorney from 1955 to 1961. Blakeman continued to practice law at Robert Blakeman and Associates in Valley Stream until 2016, along with Bruce, of Valley Stream, and his younger son Bradley, of Alexandria, Virginia.
