Hal was not only special to his wife and son and the hundreds of children whose lives he touched, he was also very special to his parents. He brought joy into their lives for a brief but glorious time. Hal was a Senior Computer Systems Engineer in his father's Information Technology firm. His day to day practical experience coupled with his educational background (Bachelor’s degree and advanced studies at Michigan State, Virginia State and University of Maryland) enabled him to be a most innovative employee.
