Hal Ornstein was such a man of integrity, a righteous soul, a model of the best of human nature. His commitment to his fellow humans stretched to many of us in our community. Each of us has our own story to tell. This is ours.
As a long-standing sponsor and supporter of the Howell Women’s Club, Hal would always come to our holiday celebration to take the group photo and send us copies for all to share and enjoy. No matter where or when, he came to capture us as we enjoyed our moments of celebration.
As we reflect now, it seems that Hal, sharing himself with us, and these photos taken over the years was a reminder that we are of one community.
Today our community sits quietly to smile, reminisce, to feel enormous gratitude, and grief, as we say goodbye to this good man.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Howell Women’s Club
