Dearest Uncle Hal, The miles may have separated us but our bloodline is forever. You are finally reunited with my mother (your sister) and your other siblings. Thankfully, you are now pain free. Sleep well, dear man.

If you took the time to scratch the surface of Hal Galaid, you found an extremely intelligent and worthwhile friend. Hal's friendship to us spanned many decades and the light in his eyes always brought smiles to our faces. We loved you and will miss you.
