Mr. Hale was sharp, witty, encouraging, generous, kind, hard working and loving. He was a great patriot. I am grateful to have known him. To have more men grow to be like Mr. Hale would be a benefit to all.
Sending my condolences to the family, may God be with you
May God comfort and keep you during this time.
We are so very sorry for the loss of this precious man who has been the best neighbor any person could ever have. We loved him like family and pray GOD's comforting love and peace will surround his family and give them strength during this trying time. Praise GOD we will meet again when we cross over Jordan...
