I was so sorry to learn of Hal’s passing. He was one of “our group” at VT in the 1970s and I’ve always enjoyed catching up with him throughout the years. I was delighted to learn from reading his obituary that Hal has lived a rich, rich life surrounded by children, grand-children, and great-grand-children, certainly the greatest gifts of this life. I can clearly imagine how he must have basked in that love. The world has lost a lovely gentle light. Wishing you comfort in your loss.

This is a tough loss for me. Hal has been a friend since we were classmates. We were proud members of the class of 1970 of ACHS. We had some memorable times together and Hal would visit me at VCU when he was in the Marines and stationed at Quantico Va. It was always good to see Hal. My thoughts are with the family for their loss.

Prayers for Hal's family, he was such a kind, friendly and talented person. The few times my husband and I had the honor of playing music with him were special, he was so welcoming (and tolerant!) I always loved to hear his rendition of Glendale Train. Rest in peace, friend.
