Well, All I can think to say is. I will miss the stories in the office, and most of all the friendship. Hal has many friends any who know him can tell you that. Mine was only 15 yrs. or so. He Helped me through college with a job that lasted off and on for almost the entire time I knew him. He helped me several times with a few bucks when I was down. Shhhh Don't tell Donna. This is between you and me. He would say. LOl. He and Donna gave me a place to live. His daughter Tammi for the most part saved my life by getting me out of Southie and giveing me the occasional stolen frozen pizza from her mom's freezer when I had'nt eaten in 3 days. again Shhhh! Such a great Family. I love you all and feel your loss. Hugs & Kisses all aroung. Remenber his Stories there his life told aloud. Great stuff !!!
