Hallie was instrumental in my career. I can hear him saying her name.
Special people. Hallie was one of the best.
So sorry to hear this. Good memories of both of them.
Sad news. They had me over for dinner once. Forever grateful to Hallie for lending me a shoulder and his ear. Learned so much from him about photography and life. Picturing them riding on a cloud now, getting some great shots!
What a huge influence Hallie had when I attended NIU. Such a treasure.
Such an amazing woman and gentle soul. I loved the times I spent with her. May she rest in peace with her beloved husband.
