Just wanted to say how much we appreciated the wonderful care Doctor Halick gave our family throughout the years. Always had time for us if we were ill.
May God bless you and Muriel for the kindness you showed others and the community.

My condolences to the Halick family. I remember many visits to his office during my childhood. I also recall the many odd jobs he gave me during my school years in Greenville. I also recall his 2 German Shepherds, Hansel and Gretel. My last visit to him was in May of 1969 the week before I joined the Air Force,at that time he wished me the best and said I would do well . I never knew of his Military service. We should all be proud of his service to our Country, the Greenville community, and all the other lives he touched throughtout the world. God Bless You, Dr. halick

Dr Halick played an important part of my family's life. He will be sadly missed. He took care of my father for many years and then later became more than the family doctor, he became a close family friend that we always looked forward to seeing on our visits back to Greenville. We shared many lovely hours and great conversation with the Doctor & Muriel.

Dr. Halick, We started seeing you in 1963, you were even there for me when we lived in Germany, when my son got shot and the doctors there called you. You was a big life savior for me through the 30 some years, I don't know what I would have done without you. You saved my life many times. You were my doctor, confidant and friend. Rest in Peace, You will be missed.
