Adaptive Zumba will not be the same without Hal. He added much to our weekly class. I will miss him very much. My sincerest condolences to your family.
My heart was quite saddened by the news of Hal’s passing. I really enjoyed working with him while at Cottonwood. We spent some fun afternoons searching for deals on good music and getting delicious coffee drinks at Starbucks and various other joints on Mass. He was passionate about his vocation as an advocate, and his legacy will live on through his hard work. May his memory be eternal.
We met Hal through Partners and Policymaking. I still remember when he came to visit the farm. Hal was a great guy and a strong leader. He will be greatly missed.
This world is a brighter place for Hal’s being in it, and many lives will continue to be graced by the legacy of service he has left behind. To Susan, Lisa, and all Hal’s family, we hold you in our hearts at this sad time. Much love, many blessings ~ Gail Zukav-Ross & David Ross

I’m so shocked and saddened to hear of Hal’s passing. I first knew him through People First of Johnson County several years ago. After his move to Lawrence, he even came back to speak in my Self-Advocacy class at JCCC, through their CLEAR program. He was an all-around good guy and a great asset to his community. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as they go through this difficult time.
