Another day, another light
Cast upon the darkness that’s now bright
Friends and family with each other,
Not knowing their last day with one another,
Hearts are broken, tears are shed,
Knowing now their loved one’s dead.
May you rest in peace, dear grandfather,
We love you and now the cancer shall haunt you no longer.
Lauryn Cortiaus

Doris and family, i am very sad to hear about Harold’s passing. He was a good neighbor and will missed very much.
DORIS,I KNOW THIS IS A GREAT LOSS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.HAL WAS A GREAT GUY. WE WILL MISS HIM.
Hal was a colleague of mine at IBM, but more than a colleague – a mentor and a friend. We spent many hours together on problems at EDS and Hal was always patient and always the teacher. I am privileged to have known and worked with him and grieve with his family at his passing.
What a classy guy. It was always a pleasure to see Hal. He taught me a lot of very valuable lessons. Take care my friend.
I worked with Hal for a few years prior to his retirement. He was a good mentor. God bless you all, he will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. Sad to hear that Mr. IBM has gone. He was a really nice person, good friend and fellow IBMer. He will be missed by many.
Doris and family.
I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss.
While few of us techies kept in close touch after retirement we none the less deeply regret losing one of our own.
So sorry for your loss. Hal was always a pleasure to know and work with, a really nice guy.
Hal was a good friend who you could always lean on. Never flustered, always composed, he taught me to find the humor in most every situation. Always busy with something. I can still hear his laugh. He’ll be missed.
Dr C “Melissa” and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your Fathers Passing, Know he is in good hands with no pain and watching over all of you, he would not want anyone to cry or be sad, he would want you all to smile and think of the happy times. The loss and sadness of a loved one is truly a difficult time. Just remember he is in all of your hearts now and forever!
Doris, Rosie & I are so very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed every minute of the 30 years I worked with Hal, and even more, the vacations we took together. He was a great mentor to me, and always there when I needed help. Though we didn’t stay in touch after retirement, I still miss him and his great sense of humor.
It has been many years, 27 to be exact, since the last time I would have seen Harold. I remember him as polite and funny. I remember the IBM family and what a good group of people they all were. My husband was in the same branch as Harold and I was secretary to that branch for a couple of years. With deepest sympathy for your loss. Becky Madewell (Wife of Sonny Madewell).
