Halpern was a good ref who was just starting to make a name as one of the top guys in the business when he commited suicide....I met him a few times at fight cards and he was always a class act both in and out of the ring.....There are a lot of other great refs though....Merchante ( not sure if I spelled that right),,Cortez,,Smoger,,Lane... all guy who I would want to ref a championship fight
