On behalf of my family I want to express my deepest condolences to Helen, Phillip, Darren and Hal’s wife Michaela.
Hal was one of my best friends growing up in Sun Meadow. We graduated from Jenks together in 1989 and shared a lot of good times together.
Thinking back on those days just about every great memory I have from that time Hal was a part of in one way or another. Hal was someone you wanted to be around. If you were down, he picked you up. Rarely did you get a chance to repay the favor because Hal was never down. He was always upbeat. Always smiling. He made you a better person just by being in his presence.
Hal and I lost contact with each other a few years after graduation. And even though it has been way too long since I had last spoken to him, the news of his passing fills me with grief and the deep regret of so much lost time. I will carry the fond memories of Hal with me forever. He was one of a kind.

Dear Helen,
John and I both were very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Hal.
We moved from Tulsa about 5 years, but we fondly remember you as Jill's favorite teacher. Abbe Riggin called to let me know and told me that we could leave you a message.
You and your entire family are in our prayers during this difficult time.
Grace and Peace,
John and Cindy Schwennesn

Dearest Helen!!!
I know that there are no words to describe your pain, for it's too big. I just know that you're a great, and a strong person. I believe that you'll return to us soon. Just remember the best times you've had with Hal. He can never really be forgotten. He'll live in you forever. Take care of yourself. Just know that I'm thinking about you. May G-d bless, love, Orly.

We hold your family in our thoughts and prayers. My memories of Hal are of his devotion to his Mother, Wife and family. I remember him smiling as he opened the door for his Mom when we both happen to pull up at the same restuarant for Mother's Day lunch---his love and admiration was so obvious. I remember the day of his wedding and his smile that was always bright simply beamed from ear to ear. I know how close Hal and Darren were and how they enjoyed their time together at OSU. There are no words to comfort you in your time of loss and I know that only God can grant you the strength to get through this time. Please know that I will be praying and that I will be here anytime you need a friend to lean on. Love, Gay and Jim Sanwick
