I remember Hal from our days in the army reserves and at numerous social occasions. He was a true gentleman with a disarming smile and quick, insightful sense of humor. I'm saddened to read of his untimely passing.
May God comfort those he loved.

To the Blair family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I pray the memories you all have will help ease some of the pain and help you through this difficult time.
I worked for Hal at Minnesota Life back in the early 80's -- he was a great boss and we had a lot of fun working together. His smile will be what I always remember.
Take good care.

My sympathy to Kathy and Hal's two daughters. In Sept 1962 7 freshmen boys went off to Crosier from New Ulm to become priests (maybe) ... I'm the one who made it. Fr Jerry Meidl.

Hal was a true friend. One of the best to us. Our relationship goes back to the 1970s when we worked together at Minnesota Mutual. We continued to stay in close contact all through the years long after we both left MML. I'll miss the periodic lunches, but mostly the big smile and upbeat attitude. Peace to your soul, Hal, my good friend and codolences to his close family, especially Gertrude, Kathy, Laura and Maddie.
