Halliday was born in Manchester, UK, on 3 March 1916 and grew up in
Homestead, Pennsylvania, a steel town on the outskirts of Pittsburgh.
After graduating from Homestead High School in 1934, he enrolled at the
University of Pittsburgh, from which he received a BS in 1938 and a PhD
in 1941, both in physics. His PhD thesis was titled “Some Coincidence
Experiments in Nuclear Physics.”

I am sorry to hear that.
I learned Introductory Physics from Halliday and Resnick. It is
a very good text.
Is Resnick still around?
Robert Resnick co-authored the article that I linked above.
