Richard Lavell Halliday

Tina,



I have read through these beautiful tributes to Rick and your family. I have already communicated with you through Jill (my sister), but I just want you to know that you are still in our prayers, and though I don't know you personally, my heart still aches for your loss. May you feel the arms of our Saviour around you in the still of the nights, and may we as friends, acquaintances, and neighbors remember to put our arms around you by day



Families are forever!



May you and your children be comforted and find peace through He who knows how to succor your every ache.



Loves and hugs.

Tina,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no clue what words that will comfort you. But remember the outpouring of love you have felt and know you are loved and supported. I think of you often and the marvelous childhood we had together. I'm blessed from your influence in my life. May you feel the comforting hand of the Savior upon your shoulder as you carry on.

Love to you.

Tina --

I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing now that some time has passed. Everyone leaves and no one knows what to say. Hang in there. If you need to get ahold of me I'm at 918-8457 or just email me. All my love to the kids too! Take care. Chandra

Tina,



I am so sorry for your loss. I only met your husband briefly when you had your surgery.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tina and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Rick was a great cousin--one I've always looked up to. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find peace and comfort.



Love, Heather (Halliday) Stephenson

Sympathies to your family,

Word has it of the amazing respect Judge Halliday held of his peers; his friends; his community.

Many prayers are being sent your way.

Meggan & Tina,



For three years your family was a large part of our lives, though we have been apart for a number of years, Rick still comes to mind of all the great times that we shared wtih him. When we heard this news we were stunned, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tina,

We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to you and your family, I worked with Rick at Neways for about 4 years, he was a wonderful co-worker and friend.

Rick also married my husband and I.

Our prays are with you and your family.

Lisa and Ryan Taylor

Tina, Megan, Collin,and Caitlin;

I want you to know that you are all in my prayers. I am so sorry about your loss, and I want you all to know that I really admired your dad. He was a great man and will truly be missed by many. My apologies for not making it to the funeral, I was unable to juggle work, but I was thinking of you all this past week. My fondest memory of your dad is at East Canyon when him and Scott would sit around the fire and sing songs; it is b/c of your dad that "Piano Man" by Billy Joel is my favorite song!!! I want you to know that you are all in my hearts, and I am very sorry for your loss. Take care of eachother and be strong.

Love you all,

Brittney Eakins

Tina,
I am so sorry about the passing of Rick. He was truly a wonderful person and friend. I will alway cherish the times we worked together at Neways, and am blessed that he was able to marry Matt and I.
Again, our deepest sympathies,

Lisa and Matt Johnson

Hey Collin, this is jay. I'm really sorry for your loss. I'm sorry that I couldn't come to the funeral, I was out of town and didn't find out until it was too late to come. I wish I could have been there to support you.

Dear Tina, Collin, and family. Our family was so sad to hear about your loss. Rick will truly be missed. I always enjoyed talking to him at the soccer games. He had such a great sense of humor. You could tell how much he loved his children by how supportive he always was, even when he didn't feel well. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and we hope you can have the peace and strength needed to carry on. Love, Tim & Robyn Misewicz & Jantzen Romney

Tina,

I am so very sorry! I just want you to know that I will treasure the times I spent with Rick. One memory that keeps coming into my mind was when I was about 10 and you were living at your old home in Taylorsville. Rick stopped by to show us the Mazda Miada. I still remember standing in the drive way when he turned to me and said 'Hey gorgeous lets go for a ride.' It made my day! Jason and I are so grateful that he was able to perform our wedding last month! He looked so happy performing the ceremony. He did such a beautiful job, and it's something we'll be able to look back on and cherish forever! All our love goes out to you, Megan, Collin, and Caitlin and your family at this difficult time! Love Alisha and Jason

Tina, Megan, Collin, and Caitlin,
Our hearts are breaking too and your suffering is shared by many. You know what a wonderful man your husband and father is and those memories will give great comfort. Your will remain in our prayers.
Dave and Pam Farnworth

Christopher and I feel great sorrow for your lost. He was a great person and he will always be remember by us with great love and affection

Tina,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss.

Please know that our prayers are with your family. Although we have not met, through Jack we have heard so many things about your family. From our own experience, we know that family is what helps us make it through such difficult times. There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy. (Linda's sister)

Tina and family,
We just heard late yesterday about your loss. Our family expresses our sympathy and our prayers are with each of you. I have known Rick since high school and have admired his leadership and accomplishments. I feel honored to have known him.

Tina,
Rick was one of the most witty intelligent guys I have ever met. He was also my favorite Sunday school. You have such a beautiful family and you will be reunited together again someday. I am so sorry I could not make it to the funeral, but I am glad I got to go to the viewing. I will be praying for you. I love you Tina!

Collin, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a really awesome guy. I wish you and your family all the best and want to let you know that my family and I are here for you guys if you ever need us.

Tina and Collin,
At a time like this words are hard to find. I am very sorry for your loss. We love your family. Rick is such a great person. It seems we have known you forever and it is comforting to know that we indeed can know you forever.

I will always remember the sadness and great loss I felt the day that I heard the news about Rick.
He was the light or our staff meetings and was always there to offer his advice about the problems we encountered. His sense of humor helped us get through the rough times. He served us well and was a great asset to the City of South Salt Lake. He brought a special flavor to our court system. The clerks often told me how much they enjoyed working with him. They loved his demeanor on the bench and how he treated everyone with respect. The city was a better place for Rick having been and worked here. He will be missed. I pray that Our Father in Heaven will comfort you during this difficult time.

Randy Fitts (Former Mayor)

Tina, We have been a friend of the family for many years. In fact I worked with Richard's Dad Rich Sr.for many years.
My wife & I offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss, We also offer our sympathy to Bev, Matt, Brent and Cindi. Our thoughts are with all of you today. Carmine & Rebecca.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Tina & family. Rick was a dear friend and fellow employee. I worked with him as the Chief Of Police, and as a City Council member. He was a wonderful friend.

To the Halliday family - I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.

I think because it seemed to bug him so much is why I always called him "Rich" instead of "Rick." Like all things, he took my ribbing with humor and patience, two characteristics he had in abundance. While I will miss his advice, counsel, and genuine warmth, I will remember how much he loved his family. No matter what we started out talking about, we always ended up discussing our families. I know his love for his wife and children was endless and continues on even now. He is more than just a fellow judge, he is a friend, confidant and teacher. I am comforted by the fact that he is now at peace.

Rick was my boss, but even more he was my friend. His wit and humor made it a pleasure to come to work. It was sheer joy to watch him interact with Katie, Colin and Megan. He is so proud of them and loves them so much. He was a fair yet compassionate judge with a thorough knowledge of the law. He served the City of South Salt Lake well.

He was an excellent boss, a brilliant Judge, and I am so glad I worked for him for almost a year, he was the light of the City of South Salt Lake.

Dear Tina,
I am so sorry about Rick, and have been hurting for you and your dear family. Please remember, I am just around the corner. I'd be happy to help anyway I can, be it transporting children, feeding the dog, or taking a walk with you. There's alot of love for you in our neighborhood, so let us help support you.

Collin,
I'm sorry for you loss, i am here for you man. i'm thinking about you everyday buddy.
-Matt

Tina, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could take the pain away from you. If there is anything I can ever do, you know where to find me. Love Jennifer

My deepest sympathy to your family. Rick was a good man and I appreciated his friendship. If I can do anything for your family, please let me know. I will miss him greatly.

Sister Bev and family....
Our deep sympathy to you in your loss at this time.

Our sincerest sympathy from everyone at Draper City Court. I will miss Rick, as I know you all do.

Judge Bertch

Rick has been and will continue to be one of the people I admire most. He will forever be remembered for his wit, his intelligence and his good natured soul. My heart breaks for you, Tina. I will think of you every day and pray for you. Please know how much you and your family are loved.

Dear Tina and Family,

My thoughts are with you.
-Amanda Carpenter

I have lost a dear friend. Rick touched my heart with humor and kindness. A gentle man who spoke frequently of his love for his family. I am grateful for the fond memories I can hold on to and that our paths were able to cross.

Dear Tina,
My thoughts are with you, It is not an easy step to overcome. I hope that many blessings will be with you and the family. I'm sorry I can't attend the services, but please remember my thoughts will always be with all of you. Please let us know if we can be of any help. God bless you. Jay Knight

Tina and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss that you have suffered. Rick was such a great person and fun loving. We want you to know that you are in our prayers and thoughts. He will not be forgotten. He lives on in all of you and the people who knew and loved him. I am so glad that you were able to go to mexico and that you will always have the memories of your time together there and of your whole life. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you and your family. Time will heal, and you all have that. May the Lord bless and keep you through this time of sorrow and need.

Tina, Even though I've moved away, and even though our paths crossed only a handful of times, I've always been crazy about you! I couldn't get you off of my mind all weekend long; I hope you will have time to grieve in the way you need to, that your children will be a comfort to you, and that our wonderful neighborhood will rally around you if you want them to. Jeff and I really enjoyed meeting Rick that night at the Collett's (playing that crazy game where we had to do all sorts of silly stuff), and we wish you all the best as you and your family begin the healing process.

Tina & Family:
Our sincere wishes of comfort and sympathy go out to you. As colleagues, the loss of Rick is great, but it is little compared to your family's grief. Our hearts are open to you.

Dear Tina & family:
We just want you to know that all of you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts are very heavy with sorrow with Rick's passing, but together as a neighborhood and ward we want to help with whatever can be done. As we all try to go on with our day to day stuff, please don't think we are forgetting you and your family. Don't hesitate to let us know what is needed, and at the same time we will try to be sensitive to your needs. We have always admired your family, and we always will. May the Lord bless and be with you.

He was a great Judge and all around good person. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Rick, You will be missed by many. I pray that you have found the peace you were looking for. God bless you and your family.

Rick is in our thoughts and remains in our hearts forever. There is nothing more difficult than saying goodbye and letting go of someone you love. Our heart felt prayers are with you and your family. You will be blessed with courage and strength that you never knew you had within you. There is a saying, "Do not follow where the path may lead.....go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Rick has lead a very special trail of memories in our minds and hearts. Bless you this day. Conrad & Chandra Roberson, Lindsay, Shaun & Kirstey Thompson

Dear Tina, We have only met a few times after the choir concerts at Indian Hills MS. Colin and Devin go to school together. My husband Brian felt quite close to your husband. He's a Sgt. with South Salt Lake Police and spent many hours in the courtroom. I also enjoyed his company. When I would go into the courtroom he would say to me like, "Why are you taking this loser to Hawaii?" and my husband would say somthing quite sarcastic in return...things I would never dare say to a Judge! He was so awesome! We will miss him very much and hope that you will call us for any of your needs. You are in our prayers. With much love, Joni, Brian, and Devin Stahle

I know that you are going through tremendous pain right now. Your family is in my prayers. Remember that God judges with as much compassion as he can possiblly give and as little justice as he has to. Try to find peace in your heart knowing that your Heavenly Father is with you and with him. He is comforting him and helping him with his circumsatnces with a love and comppassion we can never understand in this life. May God bless you and your family with strength and peace.
