My prayers go out to the Halloway family. I'm sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was a great neighbor and friend growing up. Upon my return to Columbus, I got to also work with Bill at St Francis and Bill always had a way of making me smile during the toughest of days. He will be missed.

I will always have fond memories of Mr. Halloway from all those great gatherings at the house on Primrose Court. He was always a fun person to be around. His great wit, charm and well deserved guidance given to playful teenage boys will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Halloway family.
