So many memories as Hal and I grew up together. Baseball, 4-H, Debate, Square Dancing and living on the same hall in college. Sorry to hear of his passing. Many prayers for his family.
Before Hal became my brother-in-law in 1984 I knew him as a student at Henry Co. Jr. High and a McDonough Cougar football player and McDonough Braves baseball player and Mr. Holloway coached his team. Later, in High School we played Varsity Baseball and shared classes together. He drove some really cool cars back then too. In my married life, we’ve shared so many family holidays, meals, stories and laughs together. Hal even replaced a hot-water heater in our house once when he thought paying a company was too much. He was truly a good friend, faithful employee to his employer and beloved family member and words can’t express how much he will be missed by his family and friends.
