So sorry to hear of Hal Kendall's passing. Sidecaring has lost a great man.
Ditto what Dave said. Our heartfelt condolences to all the Kendall family. The sidecar world lost a rock from it's foundation.
Hal has left a huge footprint with his sharing of knowledge without cost to thousands of us in the sport and industry.

Just a thought, but Maybe the Board of directors would consider purchasing a plaque at the AMA museum like they did for Ed Johnson Hal's Cofounder of the United Sidecar Association
Chuck, that is a great idea. It is a small price after all Hal has done for the USCA.

Chuck, an excellent idea. Fly expresses it perfectly.
I agree with Chuck and all those who support this idea. The least we can do.
Both Hal and Ed were the founders of the USCA and they need to be remembered, they are the reason that we are connected today.
I agree that it would be a tribute to a man who made sidecaring what it is today. He was one of the most sidecar savy persons that anyone could hope to meet. His work will go on for decades. His sidecar manual is known all over the globe to be one of the most informative books every published.
I don't seem to find any information on the AMA site about purchasing a plaque. Can someone send me more information? If I remember right the USCA didn't purchase one for ED but we might have sent a contribution.
I think this may be what you are looking for Joyce: http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/GetInvolved/GiftsInHonor.aspx

I remember bringing it up maybe it was one of those things that went by the way side, but I did find this.
