I just hung up with his wife... Hal has passed. I have a lot to say (and I know Stan and Landon do as well) but I'm a little sideways right now. I'll post something in the morning after I get a little time to collect my thoughts.
His wife asked that I make a post "on Hal's favorite pool forum" and to "let the pool players know," so that's what I'm doing.
Hal was the only pool player in his family tree and the community here on AZB probably knows more about his pool life, adventures and accomplishments than they do, so Sunny asked if I would ask the members here to post their stories about Hal so they can be read at his funeral.
All I can I can say for now is that NO ONE loved pool more than Hal. All he cared about was helping other players play better. Hal helped me see a side to pool that I never would have experienced if it weren't for him.
I miss ya buddy...
