To family members of Hal, my sympathy to all of you as you release your loved one to another level of life. I am sending appreciation for his life and for all that he contributed during his time on this earth. It was my pleasure to visit and spend time with him in N.M. One could sense how comforted he was by his spiritual belief which started as a youngster when he and his brothers attended church services. His calm loving spirit was evident as was his love and pride in his family. Thanks Hal,for all that you left on this earth to carry on what you created. Ruth Rawhouser
