Not sure what to say?

Hal and I were very good friends and golfing buddies years ago, having discovered that he went to high school with my parents in Oswego, NY. Although our paths hadn't crossed in recent years, I would think about our times together and wonder how to find his contact information. Unfortunately, this search confirmed my worse fears. I have many warm (and often funny) remembrances of our times together, and therefore know that his time on Earth lives on in the hearts and minds of his family and...

We were always excited when we heard you and your brother would be in town. We never missed a time to gather at relative's home to see you. It was always great time had by all. You will be missed!

Hal, WE had a lot of fun with you when we were kids. Loved thoses piggy/back races we had with Tee. Thanks for the memory.

Hal, you will alway remain in our hearts and prayers. It was wonderful meeting our families again in Florida.

I will always miss you, Daddy.

"Hal Wilson will be remembered here as a "Giver" of himself, his time and his talents. Hal did so as a strong-willed man focused on what he strongly felt was right. For that alone, he will be appreciated by more and more of us as time passes and clear minds prevail. May you rest in God's arms confident you served your fellow-man well Hal."

Sincerely,
Emil J. Stecki

Hal was always a friend--Janet & his two girls are too even tho he was my boss. He was the smartest casualty claims man I ever knew in my insurance 30+ year career! He was gruff & a no nonsense guy but a puppy dog inside with a big heart & always family oriented.

Janet: Hal and I go back a long ways working for Cincinnati. I'm truly for you loss. Hal was a good man and will be missed. Jerry Yoder

You know I really wish there was an easy way to sum up Hal and what he meant to me but there aren't the words. Suffice it to say that with Hal you always knew where he stood on a subject, be it a case, what's happening in the world or simply the subject of the moment. He was at times gruff but never inappropriate, forceful but never obnoxious about it, understanding and sympathetic but never weak in his dealings with people, and above all straightforward in his thoughts and actions. He was...
