Your family has our sympathy. We all loved Dr Hall. We lived on a farm east of Zearing and had many visits to the office. And Dr Hall made several visits to our house, particularly when my twin brothers (Bill and Bob) were little. Dr Hall delivered Bill and Bob on the way to the Eldora Hospital in 1948. Bill would say that he got a "rolling start in this world." May happy memories help you make this difficult adjustment.

My family lived across the street from Doc and Lucille in Colorado Springs from 1979-1989. My little girls (now in their 30's!) loved going to visit Doc while he was outside working in his woodshop. Both he and Lucille were always patient and kind with the neighborhood children. Even though we moved to California in 1989, Doc will remain fresh in my memory as one of the best neighbors I've ever had. Life well lived, Doc. Sincerely, Lynn (Moya) Bible

I was a little girl when I was involved in an accident that left my little finger detached from my left hand. When my parents brought me to Doc's office, he gingerly examined it and asked my father if he would Ok Doc sewing back on. My father agreed. My father was so thankful but was so guilt ridden because he felt he was to blame. Doc was so supportive and kind to my father. He was a special man. Mary (Good) Hills

Our family lived next door to Doc. My dad Goo myers and Doc put up a baseball field with back stop. If only I'd stated behind that I'd have all my front teeth. The thing I remember most is the look on Docs face when I hit a golf ball thur his office window
