Dr. Ronald M. Hals was a role model for anyone who wished to serve others as a pastor and as a teacher. I had the good fortune to be his student at Trinity Seminary. He was a prime example of a professor who came to class each day totally prepared. He had four loves: his Lord, his family, his students and the St. Louis Cardinals. I thank God he was a part of my life.

Dr. Hals was my teacher. I will never forget how he prayed before every class. He helped me get into graduate school. I would not be who I am today without his model and guidance. He was a unique spirit and I am so glad I got to know him. He will be missed

Ron Hals was my professor 1967-1970 and a mentor for the formative years of my own career as an Old Testament teacher. He introduced me to the great German biblical scholars (Alt, Bultmann, Noth, von Rad) when they were still little known in this country and taught me how the Old Testament works as God's word of Gospel for the church.

I really appreciated Dr. Hals as my OT professor in seminary. We students welcomed his jokes at the beginning of each class. We learned a lot from his vast background.

Dr. Hals was my advisor at Trinity Lutheran Seminary. I felt blessed by the way he encouraged me while I was a student at TLS. His classes were always challenging and at times his insights into what we were discussing just made me stop and ponder. Of course his love of God always shone through. Even upon his retirement we would visit with him and Laurie. He was a guest teacher at Good Shepherd, Cincinnati, Ohio quite a few times while his son Gary was in medical school at UC. He will be...
