Hal was a delight to me while we served as League reps together. His gentle nature, sparkling eyes, and delightful sense of humor made an impact on all of us around that wonderful table of colleagues. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

- ALice Villadsen, Gulf SHores, AL

Very sorry about your loss. I served as League rep with Hal in 'the day.' He was a great colleague.

- Barbara Gellman-Danley, Rio Grande, OH

Dear Sally, We are sorry to hear of Hal's passing. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

- Noreen and Steve Anderson, Mildand, MI

Dear Sally, It was sad to learn of Hal's passing. I have such fond memories of him from our undergraduate years at Western. He was a model for me as I made the transition from confused high school student to a successful college student. Hal always wanted to have things be correct and valued responsibility. Years later, I saw those same characteristics as we met at conferences and when Mary and I visited you in Michigan. Please send our condolences to your family.

- Don Jansiewicz, Medford, MA

Hal was a colleague and friend of many years, at Delta College and subsequently, in many League for Innovation activities. He was a great one for writing long and detailed memos. We kept in touch after Hal retired and he spoke often of the pleasures and frustrations of golf. I shall miss him, as will so many others. My condolences to Sally, Beth and other members of the family.

- Brenda Beckman, Tucson, AZ

Dear Sally I heard from Dave today about Harold's passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I remember when I came over to your house as a kid that Harold would often come up to me and smile and laugh with me. The world lost a great laugh. Sincerely Norm

- Norm Johanson, Redmond, WA

My thoughts and prayers are with Hal's family. Hal and I were League Reps for many years together. We had many opportunities to work together, but more importantly many opportunities to laugh together. And, that is what I will always remember...his humor and his sense of irony. I lost my wife of 39 years on May 15th and I know the pain of loss. Please know that his friends hold his memory and his family in our hearts.

- Jon Alexiou, Miami, FL

Dear Sally, I was shocked and saddened to receive from Jean Treadway news of Hal's passing. You two were such important people in my life in Michigan.

Love, Esther

- Kathy Fitzgerald, Midland, MI

When I was hired by Delta College in 1987, Hal was the person who interviewed me on behalf of President Carlyon who was out of town. I remember his being very pleasant and welcoming. He expressed interest in my academic work and made it clear that Delta College, although a teaching institution, valued research as well. Hal could be tough advocate and administrator, but he didn't hold grudges. As a faculty member, I respected that. Our AAUP chapter gave him both service and governance awards in the same year - a mark of the value of his contributions. I am glad that he evidently enjoyed his retirement for more than a decade, but I am saddened by his passing.

- Alan Hill, Bay City, MI

I am very sorry for your loss. Hal and I served on numerous Delta committees over the years, and I echo the comments left by Alan Hill: Hal was an honest and outspoken advocate for his positions who was straightforward and up front at all times - I always knew where Hal was coming from and appreciated this. He cared for the college and that showed in all he did. He was someone I always respected, and I am sorry to hear of his passing. Accept my sincere condolences.

- Ralph P Forsberg, Midland, MI

Dear Sally, What a shock. We just arrived back at Bear Lake and got our e-mail back on line this PM, and the first message we see was your sad news. There are so many good memories that we have as our Midland neighbors, a guest at you home at the Landings, Hal's beautiful dahlias, and Hal's teaching me how to play golf as we wandered mid-Michigan golf courses. Hal had a life well lived which ended too soon. Dear Sally, may the good Lord bless you and keep you. With love, Bill & Nancy

- Bill & Nancy Fronk, Signal Mountain, TN

Dear Mrs. Arman, I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Arman. I will pray that you feel comfort and love during this sad time. I'm so glad that Beth & David can be with you. Take good care - love, Betsy Fronk

- Sandra Wight, Saginaw, MI

Dear Sally - I am so saddened and shocked to hear about Hal's death. As you know, I went to high school with him. Hal was such a kind, gentle, and caring man. Growing up, he had many friends who cared about him. He was kind to all. My heart goes out to you and your family in your loss of husband, father and grandfather.

- Patricia Riegler Groessl, Muskegon, MI

Dearest Sally: I guess we may always think a friend's death comes too soon, but clearly Hal's death is way too soon. He was obviously very active physically as evidenced by all of those golf outings. Importantly, we lose a valued friend of Delta College. More importantly, for me, I lose a gentleman who has been such an important and valued part of my own life. It is a real shock to lose a long time friend at such a young age. Betty is remembering all those events at the farmhouse when Hal joined us and always offered his help. Please take good care of yourself. Betty and Don Carlyon

- Don Carlyon, Bay City, MI

We don't not what to say Sally. He was a very nice man and a pleasure to work with. Our condolences to the family.

Sally, my thoughts are with you during this truly unexpected and sad time in your life. Although I only met Hal and you twice, you both made an impact. I love everyone in the Arman family and it hurts to see another one of its members go so soon. Take care of yourself Sally. Please tell the children I am thinking of them too. I will always remember the special time we had when everyone was together camping here in Michigan.

- Todd Beck, Spring Lake, MI

Hal and I found ourselves in the same Friday golf group a number of years ago. Since then we have played together many times, often in the same foursome, and frequently sharing the same cart.

Sally, as you know Hal and I spent many happy hours together on the golf courses at the Landings. His sense of humor and his ongoing ability to not take himself or me seriosly led to a profound respect in our discussions, whether they were about local politics or subjects of international effect. He laughed a lot and characterized himself as his own best audiance,but many of us laughed right along with him, because he was funny, and sincere and cared about less fortunate people. I shall miss him and am very glad to have shared some of my life in his company. Barrie Cliff

Harold helped 'break' me in on my 1st job, Connell's Mkt in Whitehall, where he taught me how to make change and w/o any digital help. He was a good friend and a fine young man. I'm sorry I lost track of him over the years.

- Stan Markavitch, Bridgman, MI

Dear Sally, As you go through life you gather a group of people who are special to you. Harold was one of those people for me. From the time I met him at age 12 he has always been bright, dependable and gentle. My thoughts are with you and your children.

- Janet King, Macomb, MI

Dear Sally: I was so sad to hear of Hal's death. Had he been ill at all? I'm glad to hear he continued his golfing. If I would have known that, I would have tried to stop for a game on our way to our place in Lakeland, FL for the winters. I sometimes wonder why I play, since it can be frustrating. But maybe that builds character, you think? I didn't see anything about Beth. I think of her often and wonder what she's doing. How old is your grandson, Julian? Does he live near you? Hal was one of the good guys. I'm glad he has had an opportunity to enjoy retirement. Our deepest sympathy on his death. He was way too young to die. Much love, Halene Frost

- Halene Frost, Saginaw, MI

Dear Sally, We were saddened to read of your husband's passing. Just wanted you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May The Lord grant you grace and strength to bear your loss.

I enjoyed working with Hal on various committees as I was active across the college while becoming a Professor of Nursing at Delta College. When I think of Hal, I 'smile' with GREAT memories as a colleague at the school and as a friend on the golf course too!! My condolences to the family....
