Larry and I had such a lovely time when we met a couple times for dinner in Florida. As Ruthie's friend for 58 years, I grew up with Harold and his famiy. He was such a true gentleman (even as a teenager). He will always live on in the wonderful memories of his family and friends. We are here for a few more months, if you want to talk or get together, Sandy (561) 784-6706. Our thoughts are with the lovely Mandels.

Sandy -
I was so sorry to learn of Hal's passing. Working on many high school reunions with him gave me some insight as to what a nice guy he really was. I just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

To Hal's Family,
I am having great difficultly realizing that I will no longer see Hal on Heritage Club Drive. He was not only a wonderful neighbor but a caring friend, and an excellent president of our homeowner's association. He was the sound of reason and a calming influence. He always took the time to go the extra mile and was always so pleasant in the process. He made a positive difference in the lives of many people. It just doesn't seem right that he won't be down the street.
It was my honor to have known him these past few years. As everyone else is saying....he was a really, really nice man.
Susan and David Helter, WPB
