I first met your parents when we were shopping schools for our daughters. We were at Collegiate and I quickly realized I didn’t have to ask any questions because your mother asked them all! I remember saying hello to your dad, the warmth of his handshake – firm yet gentle – and the twinkle in […]
Sam and I were working on a puppet theater for a class project. We stayed up until ten at night then got up at six A.M. Mr. Halle, alternating with Mrs. Halle, would come in and check on us every twenty minutes. He would say the nicest things and offer suggestions. He also recorded an […]
I remember him being a nice and friendly guy. I remember the Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree in the back sunroom. He was always friendly and happy, and he was always excited around the holidays.
What a neat man. When I think of Jon, I think of a happy man. Always smiling, always there with a warm hello, a great joke or story but mainly always there. I can not think of any school event when Jon was not present. How he loved his children! He was so proud of […]

I met Jon and Lisa Halle some time in the Fall of 1996, when our daughters Sam and Caroline were in junior kindergarten together. Jon was always friendly and outgoing. He made it a point to get to know the other parents in the class, and we developed a friendship based on our common goal […]

In a hurry, she lost her step and fell forward. Fortunately, she was not hurt but her dress flew up and her stockings down. She never […]
Dane: I came to know your dad, through work, about the time you were born. We worked together in the planning department. I can remember him stopping in on everyone in the department to share his daily joke or comic strip. He would hand you the comic strip and just wait with that twinkle in […]
The greatest and warmest memories I have of your dad all center on his innate ability to bring support and light into any space he entered. My most vivid memories of your dad are rooted in swim meets. Your dad’s encouragement to not only Sam but to her friends and teammates helped make those stressful […]
