Hal honorably worked for the Kalamazoo Police Department and formerly as a Lieutenant for the Petaluma Police Department.

He was even present for the birth of his new grandson. Hal was a member of St. Margaret’s church in Otsego and the Knights of Columbus. He loved to hunt, camp, and fish, watch Nascar and stock car racing; and hunting for morel mushrooms.

Left to cherish Hal’s memory are his wife Julia; daughter Megan Ford, step-children Adriena Moisan and Frank Urrego; and grandchildren: Miles, Nyla, and Dexter.
