Hal was the 6th and last child born to Sallie and Archie Hayter, on November 1, 1935, in Clovis, New Mexico. His parents sold their wheat farm in Curry County New Mexico, near the town of Broadview, when Hal was 10 years old they moved to Weatherford, Texas. In 1953 Hal Graduated from Weatherford High School, going on to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas Tech University. Hal started working at Kelly Air Force Base in March 1960 and soon moved his family to San Antonio. In the summer of 1969, he relocated to Medina County, Texas. 

Hal loved the Lord and in his retirement years spent much of his time and resources to promote God's word in the community. Hal also struggled with depression which left him open to man's deception and confusion. His struggles were real and his family suffered with him as he wove his way through them. Hal, rest in the Peace of Your Savior Jesus Christ, the World's Savior, and trust that you are loved by God.
