Biography
Early life
Hal was the only child of Josette (Broussard) and Lazare Gremillion, two members of founding families of Sadie.
Professional life
Military
After high school, Hal worked on his father's farm, intending on following his father's footsteps. However, in 1966, when he was 22, he was drafted into the Marines. He served a total of 13 months in Vietnam, after re-upping once. During his time in Vietnam, he decided to become a writer, and after returning to the states, he enrolled at LSU as a Journalism major.

He tried repeatedly to sell stories based on his time in Vietnam while enrolled in college but always without success. After graduating, and after not getting any other job offers, he accepted a position as a report with the Sadie Daily Mail. While working as a reporter, he continued to write stories but still never had any success getting them published.
In 1982, after the retirement of longtime editor Sully Smith, Hal was promoted to General Editor of the newspaper.
By the early 90s, the paper was struggling, even though it was the only local paper in the area. Concerned that the paper would be purchased by some outside interest, Hal sold off a considerable amount of the land he had inherited from his parents, who had both recently died. He spent a lot of money updating the systems and the press, believing Sadie to be on the verge of a rebirth.
