I was thinking of those who had an impact on my life. Hal was one such person for me. When saw he had passed, it reminded me of how much of an impact had on me.

I was a young city manager in Sachse, and Hal took me under his wing teaching me so much. I hope to be able to have such a positive influence on someone as much as Hal did on me.

Rest in peace.

Hal was a good friend, co-worker, engineering colleague, and fellow Aggie. He and Pam were close friends with Jane and me in the early 70's, and we shared many good times together creating wonderful memories. Hal and I worked at the City of Austin Traffic and Transportation Department along with other good friends, Joe Ternus and John Friebele. We all shared the Aggie Spirit, and a love for traffic engineering. Our careers intertwined and connected over the next 40+ years in interesting and significant ways. In later years, Hal and I enjoyed attending TPWA conferences and sharing stories from the past and our hopes for the future. Hal was a great man, and it makes me very sad to think that he is no longer around to talk to. Sorry to miss the funeral service but I wish all the best for Pam and the girls and their respective families!!
Godspeed! John German, '62

I have been thinking about other memories and wanted to add another! I have been going to the Texas Institute of Traffic Enginners meeting for many years and I hung out with Hal a lot!,

I remember one meeting when we were in our early twenties or maybe early thirties where we were sitting In The back at a luncheon and I think I commented on the table in front of the speakers stand as being where all the old guys gathered! Hal said those are the Mossbacks. He said remember how some old turtles have been alive for so long they have moss growing on their shells! I agreed!

Maybe twenty years later, we were commenting on how many new, unfamiliar faces were at the Luncheons now! Hal said, now we are the mossbacks! How true! So you younger folks remember, some day you will be mossbacks!

Hal, we were blessed to be your neighbors for the last 20 years. And blessed to call you friend. We are so happy that you are now with Jesus but you are so missed my friend. But your race is now finished and you ran it well.

I have probably known Hal almost 50 years and he was one of those friends and colleagues who I always enjoyed spending time with and talking to! He was always positive, and I know he always wanted things done right! He gave me some good job references and I have always appreciated that! He will be missed by all that knew him! He was a genuine person and a real straight Shooter! So much can be said but I am at a loss for words! I would have loved to have spent more time with him, and hearing some of his work stories! He had a long, successful career that he excelled at!
