My condolences to Sharon and family. Mr Hayward was a good kind man instantly connected when I first met him and his wife much love to everyone.
Hayward was a very nice man, who loved his family. He would help anyone with a smile. I will never forget how we met almost 30 years ago when I was being followed through a supermarket by a man who appeared to in a mental heath crisis or on some mind altering substance really bad. I was alone and afraid at night. When I was in the checkout line the man stood at the end of the counter looking at me and waiting for me to check out with mailice in his eyes. Mr. Hall was checking out right in front of me and I told him briefly what was going on and he started pretending to be my husband so the man would think I was not alone, he walked me to my car and made sure I got home safely. Fast forward 4 or 5 years later, I was looking for art pieces were he happened to be working. We surprisingly recognized each other from that night at the supermarket and we were friends from then on... He was always helpful, kind and always smiling. A very respectful family man, who I always called my buddy and my angel. I believe he saved me from something terrible that night and I will never forget him. I will miss my buddy and I know that he will still be my angel. I will never forget what your kindness and what did for me Hayward. R.I.P my friend.
