twenty-one years, he was the beloved husband of Tracy Lyn (Croll) Hall. Our thoughts and hearts |

1-12 |
skills and abilities garnered attention and respect from his peers. Captain Hall established and was |

so, too, must we celebrate the spirit, generosity, and courage with which he lived every day of his |
|
1-18 |
life; and |
|
1-19 |
