Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame
Hale was a long-time supporter of Rutgers Athletics and the building which houses the football locker rooms, athletic training room, coaches' offices and strength and conditioning facilities bears his name. He also served as an advisor to University President Richard L. McCormick as a member of the Board of Overseers and was also a member of the President's Council executive committee. He received the George H. Cook Award in 1997, Cook College's highest alumni recognition for outstanding achievement and was inducted into the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni that same year. Hale, who passed away in 2004, was also a veteran of two wars, serving in both World War II and the Korean War, receiving the Silver Star and two Bronze stars for bravery in combat.
