2021, with his soul-mate Christine at his side. When Hal was working as an RN, he met
Christine DiGennaro, also an RN, working at the same hospital. They shared 18 years together.
Hal loved music and all things audio. He also had a passion for writing poems and short stories.
As he put it, he loved “turning a good phrase”. His poetry was his everything. In fact, some of
his poetry was even used in college classrooms. He wrote prolifically on the website
AudioKarma under the pen name MusicHal. There he was able to indulge his love of both
music and writing.
In addition to Christine, Hal is also survived by his sons Blake Watson and Matt (Anna) Watson
along with their mother Clarissa Watson; Christine’s children Florance (Michael) Easley, Anne
(Russ) Black, Maggie (John) Carideo, Angelo (Jessica) DiGennaro, Neal (Jennifer) DiGennaro,
