I remember listening to Hal in Los Angeles radio. I was planning a career in broadcasting and closely listened to the styles of the local radio personalities. Hal was Mr. Smooze. I could listen to him for hours and often wondered what the man behind the voice was like. He was an outstanding radio "jock"
What a beautiful obituary about a wonderful person! Barbara, when I would see you & Hal together, your love for each other shined. You two were the definition of "soul mates" & best friends. I won't be able to be at the memorial service, but know that you & the family will continue to be in my prayers.
