Uncle Hal,

I missed your smiling face on Christmas Eve. You meant so much to so many and we all miss you. You were a great son, brother, husband, father, and for me a wonderful uncle. I have many memories from being a child all the way to being an adult. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to spend time with you during the good times and the not so good times when you were not feeling so great. I will never forget you and can't wait to see you again. So, I won't say good bye, just see you later!! I love you.

Hal, for so many years you were a second father to me! Julie, Angie & I always coming home late after High School parties .... you were always there to make sure to tell us that everything needed to make Pizza Bread was there in the kitchen... oh and Dr.Pepper too!!! Julie you are in my thoughts & prayers 
Love you always, Lindsey J

My Darling Hal, We spent 20 years loving each other. You are the love of my life, even during the tough times. I remember all the good times we had together. Vacationing, camping, boating, biking and all the family get togethers. I am sure you know how much I miss you. Although I am glad you are no longer suffering, not a day goes by when I wish you were still here. In my heart and in Gods eyes we are still together. I know you loved me as much as I loved you. You made my life worth living. God Bless you and Papa and all of the rest of us who are left behind. Save a place for me by your side. You have my love forever. Rest in peace, love of my life.

My Family & Friends..I grieve beside you. I  find peace in knowing that Hal & Papa are laying side-by-side in lounge chairs enjoying the most amazing rays of sun..rays of hope..& rays of peace. This gives me the comfort I need to make it through this mpst challenging of times..knowing that one day we will all be reunited. I have so very, very many memories of spending time with "Hal-Boy..the Cow-boy!" Too many to mention..I remember seeing Hal the first time in oh..20+ years, after growwing up in Mayfair & was not at all suprised of how handsome & sweet he still was. So many memoreis of camping, snowmobiling, & water skiing for my very first time!! I wanted to give it a shot..& I had a "little Birdie" chirpping in my ear..."Come on Joiceann...don't make Hal go around & around 20 times so you can try & get up on those skis!!" Then Hal being the patient sweetheart he was said..."Don't worry about it... JA (the nickname he assigned me..) you'll get up!"  So to a few's amazement..YEP..got up on the 1st pull & cruized around the lake until my 40+year old legs decided it was enough!  It was Hal & his confidence in me that made me determinded to prove some wrong & "Git it done" (Now remembering going with Hal & Friends to the "larry the Cable-guy show!!") I remember the 1st time I went to his beautiful home, only to find a "appetiezer menu" on the dining room table!  Yes, you could go to Hal-Boys..oder a appetizer & he would serve it up with a sheepish grin!! Hal was one of the best hosts to his company you could ever imagine..he just wanted everyone to be taken care of & happy..!! The memories just go on & on..& I thank you for letting me share at least one memory that always warms my heart & makes me smile..
Hal-Boy..I am going to miss your jokes..your giggle..& your tender heart..the way you loved Mom..& your Girls so very dearly..you were hands-down..one of a kind..a Gentleman..a good Friend, thoughtful brother, amazing Son..generous Father..
I will miss you so much..until we meet agian..
JA

I remember meeting Hal for the first time at a dance at Washington High School March 1974.  I was feeling really low so a few of us left early and went to Spanaway Donuts, they were closed.  While driving around we came upon a fire that Hal went to see if he could help.  I rememer him as a good person and friend.

He is without pain now.  He'll be watching over you to make sure you are telling all of the stories about his life.

May god be with the entire family to help see you thru this difficult time. 

My prayers will be for you, as he is already n heaven.

God Bless,  Robbin Wood-Yount

God bless "Little Hal" and the extended family he left behind.  We are so sorry to hear of your great loss.
With Love,
Babe and Helen O'Neill

My prayers of comfort are with the family during this difficult time during the holiday season. I know he was truly loved and will be missed immensely. Hal, what a blessing to know that you are pain free in the house of the Lord. 

Michele Smith

Rest in peace Uncle Hal , I love and miss you . As hard as it is to see the family in grief, it's reassuring to know you're not in pain anymore and you're up there in Heaven with Papa. Rest easy, see you someday -Bridgett .
