To the family of Carol and Hal Swift: My condolences to all of you. I knew Hal mostly through correspondence I have had with his wife, Carol, for some time. His wife and I were neighbors many years ago in Torrance, California.

Hal Swift as I called him was the most kindest person he had a way with words the same as Marty Robbins did. Hal called him Martin which was his name. Hal wrote for our newsletter. We sell his book in our gift shop. I know he is in Heaven playing in that Big Band. God Bless Carol and Gary.
I saved his emails We all will miss Hal. He was one of a kind.

Hal - you were always kind to me. It was nice to be trusted and respected by such a man. Much love to you and Carol, my friend.

Ralph was a great influence in my life and a great friend to our family. I will cherish the stories, the insight, and the love that he and Carol shared. Thank you for being you, Ralph. Much love.

My sincere condolences to your family. May God "who comforts us in all our trials" (2 Cor 1:4) comfort you and your family at such a difficult time. I know God will help you to endure because he cares for you (1Peter 5 :7).

Hal was a long-time broadcaster

Farewell, Pal Hal. Enjoyed working with you and our long friendship.
