Not sure what to say?

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

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you honor your wonderful father, grandfather, and friend. What a legacy of love and caring he has left you all. Keith, Chelle, and Craig Porter, and Kerrie and Billy Clarke (Raleigh, NC)

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...

Harold Hallett's Boat: SS-265, USS 'Peto' in 1942

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...

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...

Our sincere condolences to the Hallett family on the passing of Harold.

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.
