Hal Cottle did a lot with his life. He was an Army Paratrooper, a Bodybuilder and most recently a business owner.
Known for doing things with amazing energy, he died at the age of 69 from a battle with cancer.
According to the Startribune, "He was extremely present," Leah Cottle (daughter) said. "He was very attentive. ... I went to work with him. He was involved with my school and found the best tutors he possibly could. Somehow, he dressed me like a girl, kept me going with the horses and encouraged me with my art."
He spent his final months building a coffee shop in Minneapolis.
The Startribune also reports that along with daughter Leah Cottle and his former wife, Bernette, Cottle is survived by a son, Spencer Bradford.
