My deepest condolences! Hal was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. No more pain and resting in the arms of God now. Blessings to his family and friends.
Carol and family: Larry and I wish to thank you and Hal for your friendship over the years. It’s been 30+ now since we met at the Jersey Lil Saloon for country western dance lessons. Little did we know all the friends we would make just by taking dance lessons. Hal became our ‘fearless leader’and remained that to the very end. When all the dance halls began to shut down we still remained friends and stayed in contact with one another. Larry and I fully enjoyed gathering with our group for those monthly luncheons until covid took that away from us last March. There remains a hole in my heart for our buddy, Hal. I hope he’s playing music in heaven and keeping those new dancers in line as they shuffle around the dance floor. You both have been great friends over all these years. May God watch over both of you and your whole family. Sending our condolences and love to you.
Thanking the Lord that Hal’s suffering has ended and that he is resting in the arms of Jesus. Keeping you lifted up in prayer and trusting that one day you will be reunited.
Hal was a fellow Marine and we also grew up together in Pine Lawn. We were in the same grade at St Paul the Apostle Catholic Grade school. Rest in Peace old friend. Semper Fi from Bill Marshall class of 1953
