He loved our whole family dinners!
Dad was always there for anyone who needed help whether it be plumbing or car repairs, fixing something broken or just building something. You might say he was a jack of all trades. He also was a great listener, Hal was loved by all who met Him.
Would like to THANK the staff at Alpine Meadow Rehab & Care Center for all their love and great care they gave and showed our Dad. Many of you went above and beyond what you needed to do in caring for him. He loved and considered you all family! Can't Thank You enough. Would also like to thank his grandson Mikul for all he did for his Grandpa!
