Smedley School, 1970's - 80's. We worked hard. We played hard. We forged friendships that enriched our lives. I remember our time on the Chester Civil Service Board and our football games at the faculty picnics. Mostly, I remember a congenial educational administrator who influenced my career. God bless Hal! Your family and professional legacy are monuments to your life.

Dear Claudia & Hughes Family, I was saddened to hear of Hal's passing, sincere condolences to you and the family. He will be remembered in our prayers. I have many fond memories of working with Hal at Smedley Jr. High, and the social events we shared at PMC - great times. He was a dear friend; whose friendship, unfortunately, got lost over time. Once again our deepest sympathy to all.

Dear Claudia and family - deepest sympathy on Hal's passing. I have many fond memories of him at Smedley. He was my favorite teacher. He is your guardian angel now watching over you all. May he rest in peace

So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful guy with a great sense of humor and I have lots of childhood memories of Hal and Claudia and even his parents growing up with my family's business, Talarico's Flowers. They were the good ole days.

My sincerest sympathies.

Liz told me of your loss. I am so sorry and send sincere condolences to you and family. Do let me know if you come to FL. Clare Sherlock and I would love to have lunch or whatever if you come our way. Prayers to you.

Dear Claudia,

Please know how sorry I was to learn of Hal's passing. Hold on to all of the wonderful memories that the two of you shared. They will give you strength during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Fondly, Clare

P.S. I would love to hear from you.

Harold and I went to the same schools, were principals in Chester Schools at the same time and shared a lot of history.

I am very sorry to hear of his passing and hope that it was peaceful. I send wishes to Claudia and the family for happiness in memories of Hal.
