Dear Susan,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Hal’s passion and work for hand-cranked organs was responsible for so many fine instruments reaching happy owners here in the US. He will be dearly missed.

Hi Susan, I am so sorry for the loss of Hal. I only met him one time, but immediately liked him and wished I could have had more opportunities to visit. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Kathy

I have many fond memories of my brother in law. I am going to miss his dry sense of humor. Hal was a strong and caring member of our family and I am shocked and saddened by his loss.
