I knew and loved Hal long after high school. Besides emotions we shared poetry, world history, the workings of culture and what it is like to be forged in fire.

I enjoyed discussing with Hal diverse practical issues about which he had a vast knowledge and understanding. He loved books and good people. He was fond of the example of Francis of Assisi, and Confucius who once said, 'He whose heart is in the smallest degree set upon goodness will dislike no one.' (Ancient Chinese. Analects, iv. 4) He sought to live up to this teaching and to reverence the dead, especially those in his family who had gone before. Rest in peace friend of so many.

I worked with Hal at The Advocate and will always remember his boisterous laugh and the delight he took in uncovering offbeat stories in New Canaan. A good writer and a good guy.

I am remembering swimming at Kiwanis w/Hal discussing countries that had gained independence. Conversation w/hal was always lively and stimulating.

So very sorry to read that Hal is gone. I enjoyed seeing him at the The Waveny Care Center sharing his love of things - written and otherwise.

Though I saw Hal infrequently of late, my sense is one of such sadness and loss. He made any
day brighter for me, if seen even only in passing. When he lived in New Canaan, he wove himself into the fabric of the community through grace, skill, wit and friendhsips. Along with so many others,
I was glad to call him Friend.
