Hal truly was larger than life and his sudden departure was much to soon for any of us. Hal's life was the definition of "A Life Well-Lived." He lived every moment of every day. He deeply loved his friends and his family and it is truly comforting to know that he was so well-loved by all who knew him.

Hal was everything to me. We were building a dream together and, in his honor, I will pick up the pieces and continue what we started. I want you to know that Hal left us doing what he loved. He worked with a couple horses in the morning and then went out to shoe a horse for a client that afternoon. The Lord called him home at that time of natural causes, he needed someone with the most tender, kind, loving and biggest heart he could find and it wouldn't surprise anyone to know that was Hal.
