Rest in Peace, my friend. I am so sad to hear this news and just want to express my feelings of gratitude for knowing Hal Goldberg. Thank you for the countless hours of talking with the other "Moms" of kids with disabilities at the elementary school, Village East in Aurora. I and the other Moms were blessed by your presence and persevered in our daily struggles with your help. Rest in Peace, you will not be forgotten. Karen Sugarman Huber, Nick's Mom

Hal's Celebration of Life was beautiful, touching, and a wonderful tribute to the man I worked with so many years ago in the Cherry Creek Schools. I will forever smile when thinking of that large and loving group of friends quietly humming along to "Peaceful, Easy Feeling". That moment said it all. With sincere condolences, Susan Friedman A tree has been planed in his memory.

I am so sorry to hear that Hal has passed away so soon. He never showed any signs of serious illness at our monthly polio survivors' meetings in Colorado Springs. I so admired his kindness and sympathy to all our post-polio symptoms as he led our group. Then, just all of a sudden, he said he was very sick and would have to resign. He has been in my prayers ever since. My deepest sympathy to all his family and many close friends. Carol Todd, Guffey, CO - Bulbar Polio/Iron Lung survivor, age 84.

Hal and I have been friends for close to 60 years! We met at Corbett Hall on our first day at CSU in Fort Collins. We immediately became good friends which continued through the 4 years at CSU and far beyond. We ended up traveling in Hal’s Pontiac GTO throughout Mexico for a few weeks. We also were eventually roommates in Fort Collins and we had an apartment once we ended up in Denver. Hal and I also traveled together to Hal’s first job in Psychology at St, Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington DC. He stayed and I flew back to Denver. Over the years Hal and I had several “nicknames” for each other - he was HG and I was WM among others to complicated to mention. So many memories of visiting both of our families, concerts, parties, meals and good times together. Hal and I had many mutual friends from our time in both Fort Collins and Denver. Both of us ended up taking different career paths - Hal in the public sector in Psychology and me in the private sector in sales. Although I left Colorado in 1987 Hal and I stayed in contact at least once a year calling each other on our birthdays. Hal always reminded me that I was 5 weeks older than him! Over the many years we have been able to meet a few times and it was always a good time. Hal visited us when we lived in Minnesota and we sent him to Voyageur National Park where we have spent many weeks during summer. My wife Evelyn and I were on a trip to East Coast years ago and we ran into Hal at the Smithsonian Museum without any planning. Unbelievable that we were miles from our homes at the same time and place! Hal and I had a great breakfast together in Denver last December where we spent 3 hours laughing and catching up on all the memories over the years. Evelyn and I send our condolences to Hal’s family and many friends who have known Hal through the years. Gods Speed HG and Rest in Peace my friend.

Hal was a gift to all of us. I knew Hal for as long as I have been in Denver (1976) and he was kind enough to befriend me from the beginning. I will always miss him but am grateful to have been in his light.
