I was so sad to hear of Hal's passing. I worked with him during his years as a volunteer in the pharmacy dept. He was a kind-hearted man who could always make me smile. My sympathy and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. Aloha Hal, rest in peace!

Bless his heart. We have known Hal for many years and felt he was living his life as God would have him do and was at peace. We moved to I.F.Idaho in 2002 and have lost contact with him. Our sincere sympathy to the family. He has gone on to bigger and better things and has passed all the tests of mortal life. God bless him. Sincerely Jeannie & Gary Lythgoe

Hal, I sincerely enjoyed your friendship and the many sporting events that we watched together. I am particularly reminiscent of Billings Mustangs games, when it was really fun at grand old Cobb Field - lots of comradely with you, and several of the other regular attendees. "Ducks on the pond", and the national anthem-"MTV style", will forever bring a smile to my face and a thought about you. But of course, we also shared about many other treasured and valued elements of our lives. So, I know that you like sports, but more importantly, what a good and decent man you are. You are missed. God bless you. Warren Beck
