Hal was an Arizona Champion runner, winning first place in the mile and earning him an athletic scholarship to the University of Utah where he began his college education. He continued running and hiking throughout most of his life, hiking the Chumash Trail to Machu Pichu in his sixties.

After a few years in Utah Hal returned to Arizona State University to finish his BS degree and then on to Brigham Young University for his MA in business administration.

While working at ASU, Hal found it convenient to attend graduate classes and earned his Doctorate in Education.

Hal accepted a job in California for The Rancho Santiago Community College District as the Dean of Admissions and Records. He worked in Santa Ana for the rest of his career.

Hal is survived by his sister and her husband as well as their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
