Worked for Halasz Electric and had close friend and family ties to a wonderful family.
Richie Halasz taught me so much as a young Electrician, will be missed and more importantly, a strong and dedicated man.

To Greg and family, sending you all peaceful thoughts during this difficult time. May all of you know that the drive and passion your dad devoted to create Halasz electric to provide for all of your family has also over the years provided for so so many other familes. like myself and in doing so not only pushed you to do your best and also made sure you completed what you started, It seems like just yesterday when i went for my interview in 1985 as a 19 year old kid fresh out of vo tech , and along with the usual questions a contractor would ask .these two questions still bring a smile to my face , do you hunt ? do you fish ? your hired .. your dads passion for living life to fullest. Share the stories and all the memories as his legacy contiues for ever more.. wishing you all peace steve towle
