Dear Mary,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I know how difficult it is to lose a parent and how much harder it must be to lose the other one. May you be comforted and strengthened by fond memories of special moments during all the years that he was here. My prayers are with you and your family.

While I did not know Mr. Hallett, I do work with his daughter Susan, and by all indications, he and his wife did an excellent job of raising her. She is a pleasure to work with and I am saddened that she go through this. I know her faith, family and friends will help her and her family get through this.
Peace

Dear Hallett Family,
My deepest sympathy. Your Dad was a very special man and a wonderful father. Quiet but ever PRESENT in our young lives. He watched over all of us as if we were his own. I will never forget those long summer days playing ping-pong, pool, and practicing our gymnastic tricks on the front lawn, all under the watchful eye of Mr. Hallett. I pray he continues to watch over you and me from Heaven. I feel better knowing he is there.
God Bless You,
Maria (Iacono) Bradarich

To the Daughters, Sons, Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren and in-laws of the Harold Hallett family, I wish to convey my deepest sympathy on the loss of a winner. Yes, Hal was a winner. I met Hal in the 1960's. From that point on until his retirement in 1980, we held the same job title for Pacific Telephone. He was what I consider to be a true friend. When my wife Nancy passed on in 2007, Hal was the only person from my Telephone Co. past who attended her Memorial Service. Now for a special message to all of you. Don't dwell on any regrets. Dwell on all the happy times together which I'm sure far out-number the bad. Believe me, Hal would be extremely unhappy if he knew somebody dwelled on regrets. May God bless you.

Hal's flying our American flag on his front yard every day said it all. His hearty greeting was always welcome. And his calm recollection of being in America's submarine force in WW II on his boat the USS 'Peto,' SS-265, reminded all of us he was of our Greatest Generation. All Americans thank you Hal for your part in saving democracy and providing us the lives, the tomorrows we and our children do and will enjoy. Hal's spirit, his delight in life, his friendliness, his love of children, his work ethic and his humor live on as an example for all of us. Up there hope the donuts are free and the coffee great! Miss ya!

To the Hallett family,
What a pleasure and honor to have met and known your dad while living in the same apt. building in the late '80s. He was always quick with a kind word and a smile and often some friendly advice thrown in as well! What a great man! He loved and was very proud of all of his kids! Our best wishes and prayers to all of you at this time.

Dear Bill and Family, My deepest sympathies for the loss of your dad. You were very fortunate to have him so long and to share the joys of growing old to his ripe old age of 90. I fondly remember the Sunday dinners at your parents house, and shared the loss of your mother who so unfortunately died far too young. You can all be proud that you had all this time with your dad, who is now peacefully with your mom. Lynn Gruwell

My deepest condolences to the Hallett Family. I met Mr. Hallett at the wedding of his granddaughter Karen to my brother John. I remember him smiling, happy to be among his family and friends.

Dear Hallett Family, I knew Your Dad pretty well and he will be missed. I go way back with him because my Dad and Mr H, went to high school together as Bob and I did. He always had a smile on his face and he was one positive guy. I had the pleasure in the last couple of years in walking with him at the Fermin Lasuen walk to raise money for the missions. Mr H kept a mean pace. What a great guy. I will missed him and his laugh very much. May he rest in peace.

To Susan and the entire Hallett family,
Your Dad, living a life of committed service to his country, his family, his church and his vocation, certainly left a legacy of caring children instilled with values of kindness and concern for others. Your visits, your caregiving provided peace and quality to his life. God be with you at this time of sorrow.

What a great Dad ! I remember Mr. Hallett cheering Mary and the rest of us during our Mary Star HS games in the ol' Auditorium. He always had a smile and a positive word. I would see his smile years later while he walked Paseo Del Mar, especially during the Annual Fermin Lasuen Walk to benefit a mission in Mexico. When Bob & I attended the Saturday evening service at Ft. MacArthur Chapel, there was Mr. Hallett in the pew. So blessed to have known him. His children blessed him with devoted, unselfish service during his time of need. He was a treasure on earth ! Our prayers, Mary (Hobus) & Bob Arzuman

Dear Mary, Bill, Sue, Jack, Tom , & Bob-
We were saddened to hear of your Dad's recent passing. We had the pleasure of visiting with Uncle Hal and Bill during Christmastime in 2009. The love you all had for your Dad was evident and exemplary! It was obvious that your dad loved being in his home - and you all did all you could so that he would continue to live there. May God give you the joy that only He can give at this time of loss for you all. What a genuinely nice man your Dad was and is. With love, and in Christ,
