Terry and Kathy McBlair, Norman, Ok
| Dear JoAnn and family,
We will miss Hal so much. This summers retreat with the English scouts will be
fun as usual but Hal's sense of humor and laughter will be sadly missed.
God Bless all of you.

| I'm so sorry to hear for Dr. B's passing. I
have such great memories of my time in his Explorer post...way back when. He
always travelled with his tape recorder and managed to capture everything about
our trips! I am afraid to say I didn't keep in touch over the last decade, but
thought of him often, especially as my son has been working his way through boy
scouts.
Best wishes to Jamie, Hal, and Mrs. B and the rest of their family.

| What can I say about Dr. B? He was like a 2nd
father or favorite uncle. We first met, when I attended a Medical Explorer Post
901 meeting, while I was a sophomore at (the former) West Mid-High School. He
was directly responsible for starting my life as a medical professional almost
25 years ago. I did not attend medical school as he suggested. I chose a
career in Cardiac Ultrasound with degrees from OU Health Sciences Center. I
have been extremely happy with my decision, and I still thank him for getting me
started at Norman "Municipal" Hospital as a CCU heart monitor tech. I'm honored
to be a part of his legacy in the medical field.
Dr. B., again Thank You. You will be missed. |

| God Bless Dr. Belknap. He was always a
pleasure to work with. There will be a tremendous void in our medical community
with Dr. Belknap's passing. May he rest in peace. God Bless his family. |

| Dr. B,
You are one of my fondest memories of my time at The Norman Clinic. You were
one of the happy things I thought of each morning when I went to work. You and
your nurse (Dr Vicki) were always kind and supportive. Having recently lost the
most important person in my life, I will remember to keep your wife and family
and Vicki in my thoughts and prayers. You are in a perfect place and I hope
your memories and achievements comfort each of them until you are all together
again! |

Tina Bell, Norman, ok
| To the family of Dr. Belknap, my heart and
prayers go out to you all. I had the pleasure of working with him, if only for a
short time. He would come over and do his treadmills at the Healthplex and he
would always have a smile, even with the pen in his teeth. He truly was a good
man and I feel blessed to have crossed his path. May God continue to bless and
keep you all. |
George & Takae Corkins Noble, OK
| We only knew Dr B for a short 4 years since we
moved to Oklahoma and he agreed to be our doctor. But in that short period we
came to love and respect him. He was one of a kind and we will miss him dearly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. |
Mike & Lori Lann, Norman, OK
| We are honored that he gave our son such a
positive role model through Scouting. We are honored that he and his faithful
sidekick Vicki took so much interest in our good health. We are honored to have
known the warm and dignified gentleman we fondly refer to as Doc B. Sincere
condolences to the family he loved so much. He will remain in our hearts. |
Kim Flynt, Norman, Oklahoma
| The office of Dr. Charles Lackey & Dr. Robert
Holbrook would like to send their deepest sympathies to the family. |

Susan (Morris) Rider, Ducan/OK
| Dr. B will be greatly missed. I was a member
of Medical Post 901 and my brother was a boy scout from 777 (Joshua Morris)
Now, becaue of the values taught and great fun had by all (777 is the
friendliest and most family oriented scout group ever!)I now have an 11 year old
boy who has just crossed over from cub scouts to Boy Scouts and is in Troop 434
in Duncan, Oklahoma. JoAnn, my prayers are with you and your family. If you
ever need anything I am but a phone call away. |
Gene Henry, Houston,Texas
| Hal was a wonderful person to grow up and
attend school with. He wore Number 71 on his highschool football jersey. He
was the best. |
Kyle Hamburger Norman, OK
| Doc B, I only learned of your passing today.
You will be so missed by so many. I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing
you and your family for 20 years. I have traveled with you, camped with you,
and been your patient. I consider you a dear freind and will miss you greatly.
You have touched so many lives in such a positive way, you may never even know
just how far reaching your love and encouragement has spread in making this
world a better place. I only hope I can touch a fraction of people in the same
manner. You have taught me to be a better person. You and Mrs. B have always
been there and I will continue to be there for others. I will have a fond place
in my heart for you forever. Love always. With deepest sympathy: Kyle, Julie,
Luke and Jenna |
Dick Canada Norman, OK
| JoAnn, greatness was truly among us in the
person of your beloved Hal. He touched so many people in so many different
areas of his life. I have asked why didn't God make us all like that - I'm
still waiting for the answer. Who can forget his hearty laugh, keen wit - and
those knickers! We all miss him, though I know you miss him the most. What a
great companion he must have been to you. |
