“He was, and will continue to be, an inspiration to all of us,” the post said. “Mr. Halle loved his Discount Tire Family with all his heart, and his wish was for all of us to continue to dream big and live by the five lessons he taught us; Be Honest, Work Hard, Have Fun, Be Grateful, and Pay it Forward.”
