1982
All good things must end...
The employees of the Pacific Regional Office are
unanimous in their assessment of a key member of their "family" who retired last
December: W.H. ("Hal") Halladay will be missed by his colleagues. As well as
being highly respected in his own fields, he has been a friend to all.
Hal Halladay was a 25-year Canadian Forces
veteran when, in 1969, he took the position of Pacific Director, which he held
until his retirement. In the past decade, his planning and developing of the
Department's role in British Columbia and the Yukon has earned him the firm
loyalty of the entire region's staff, as well as the respect of the
communications industry on the Pacific Coast.
Mr. Halladay will be especially remembered for his
constant willingness to assist those in difficulty and his extraordinary
capacity for work, not to mention his great human qualities.
Our thanks and best wishes to Hal.
It is with
deep sadness that we announce the passing of Hal Halladay on June 12, 2007.
Beloved soul-mate of Margaret, and much loved dad to Daphne. Predeceased by his
parents William and Hazel, his brothers Leslie and John and his wives Joan and
Muriel.
Born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Hal had a distinguished career in the RCAF and
Federal Civil Service, both in Canada and internationally. Wherever he went, and
whatever he did, he made a difference. He will be greatly missed and fondly
remembered by many. (From the Vancouver Sun)
...
Daphne managed to speak elegantly from the heart during the memorial
service, of Hal's as a father, a military aviator, an engineer and a
man - in the memorial program Daphne wrote "Wherever Hal went
and whatever he did. he made a difference"
- I told Daphne that these words about her father were absolutely
perfect and would strike a chord among all of us who worked with Hal
over the years ( John Quigley )
In
1969, Hal was Director for the Pacific region .
