He was one of the best teachers I ever had. When I was very ill as a kid, you helped me so much and brought me my homework and that meant so much to me. Now you're at peace. My best wishes and prayers to your family. Love, one of your Pittman Square students from the 1970s, Jackie (Cantrell) Rebraca

Mr. Halsey was one of my favorite teachers at Pittman Square. I will never forget the little math tricks he taught us while adding a column of members. Who would ever of thought he would have such an impact on me and other students. He had a way of telling stories that made learning fun. He always promoted a positive attitude and rewarded our achievements. I have thought of him often over the years and am so thankful he was my teacher.
My sympathies to the family. He will be missed and loved by all of you and all those he guided along the way. RIP Mr. Halsey.
