Hal was a great person. He was kind, patient, and fun to be around. I had the privilege of being part of the Hal & Hoss team on Friday nights where we had fun and worked with two of the very best teachers.
My thoughts and prayers to Vickie and the family.
Vickie sending you and your family my deepest sympathy. I enjoyed working with you and Hal at Valley Medical Transport.
Allyson and Lindsey:
Just wanted to express our condolences to the both of you, for the loss of your father.
We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏
