Our very late condolences to Grace, Kate and the entire family. We wish we had known of Hal´s passing last year. Hal and Barbara were great friends to our parents. Later in life, Hal always sent greeting cards to our parents for their birthdays and wedding anniversary. On several occasions, we believe he drove a significant distance to visit them at their senior living facility. In 2022, Hal attended funeral services our father, and in 2023, he attended funeral services for our mother. He enlightened us with great stories.

So very sorry to hear of Uncle Hal´s passing, but I´m sure he expects to be re-united with his beloved wife, Aunt Barb. Rest in Peace.
