Dear Jill, Scott and Rebbie,

"Bones" has always been talked about in our home because he was just one neat, fun guy. He lived life BIG, so he will always be remembered in a really, BIG way! You were lucky to have him as your Dad. Fondly, Loleta and Charlie... Abby, Chas and John, too.

He was a grand man who lived life to the fullest. He will surely be missed by you and all those who have been honored to know him.

Dear Jill, Rebie and Scott,

So sorry about your dear father's passing. I have such fond memories of him. He loved and lived life to the fullest and was always so much fun to be around, especially Jill, during our teen years!

Having lost both parents myself, it is truly sad time. Comfort and cling to each other-siblings are now your sole family links. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Here's knowing that Hal and Nadine are kicking up their heels together upstairs!

Much love, Jan Crawford

We would like to send our condolences to Hal's family at this difficult time. My father, Jack Carron, worked for Hal in the 1950's and my husband and I were acquainted with him at Flossmoor. He was a fine and gentle man. We are sorry for your loss.
