Hallie proudly served his county in the United States Army. He worked at and retired from Texaco/Star Enterprise in the product control lab the entire time. “Bo” was a member of First United Methodist Church of Port Neches. He served on many various boards of the church, taught Sunday School, and he and Kathy were the MYF sponsors for many years. During this time as sponsors of MYF the kids called him Hallie Bo referencing his county upbringing and the name “Bo” stuck and followed with even his grandkids lovingly called him “Bo”.
He enjoyed fishing, hunting, reading Louis L’Amour books and watching John Wayne movies. Hallie loved life and loved helping people however he could. He loved God, his family, and his church. But most of all he loved his 4 grandchildren and grand son-in-law – even if he was an Aggie. He was so very proud of all of them and what they have accomplished.
