Hal was a Stadium HS classmate, teammate, and friend. I am sad to hear of his passing, but I am cheered by the many, happy times I can recall. Take care, Boud, and know you are missed.

Chris/Rick/Hal has been in my life and in my heart for over 30 years. I loved him deeply and the memories of our times together will remain with me forever. I was lucky to have him come into my world. He loved his son, Shawn, my son, Todd, and all of the people in our co-joined families. He was a giving and loving person who brought much joy to me and to many others. I miss him.

I have known Chris since 1976. For a big guy he was always very gentle, He had a sharp sense of humor and a quick smile. He was very proud of his son Shawn, and actualy glowed when he talked about him. He was a kind and loyal person who will be surely missed by all that knew him.

I didn't know Hal well but he was a sweetheart. He was with my birth mother, Terry, for many years and loved my brother, Todd. Each time I saw him he would make me laugh and smile. Affectionately known as "Fernando" by my son and I, he will be missed.
