Thanks for posting the pictures, Dan. Hal accomplished many things over his life. Some of the memorabilia displayed by his family at his funeral service told us:
Hal achieved Eagle Scout as a youth.
Hal served in the US Navy in the mid 1960's.
Hal worked as a technician and expert machinist for Jet Propulsion Labs during the building of specialized satellites that were launched to reach the outer realms of our solar system.
Hal made it a point to do strive for perfection for most everything that was put before him, and he always made a point to put his family first.
