Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Bill P. Hall passed away on February 19, 2022 at the age of 90.
He was born in Austin, Texas on September 3, 1931 and was predeceased in death by his parents, Fantly P. Hall and Willie Jane (Barber), along with his sister Jan (Banta) and her husband Fred. Bill is survived by his wife Dorothy (Meyer) and their two sons; Brent, and his wife Renee, Blake, and his wife Allison along with four grandchildren; Brittany, Rachel, and her husband Michael, Megan and Ben.
Bill was a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force for approximately 5 years where he served as a radar observer and flew in fighter jets. He obtained Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Petroleum Geology from the University of Kansas, and began his career in the oil and gas industry working for Sunray DX Oil Company in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as an exploitation geologist. He later moved to Enid, Oklahoma and worked for Ward Petroleum Corporation prior to starting his own company.
Bill was also an Elder in the RLDS Church where he served for most of his adult life. Bill had a great zest for living and thoroughly enjoyed all stages of his life, especially his years working in the oil and gas business where he often referred to those glory days as his “Camelot”. Bill enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and will certainly be missed.
A graveside service is planned for the family, and in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 3846 W. 75 th Street, Prairie Village, KS 66208 or online at www.alz.org.
Brent, Blake and the Hall family: Our condolences on the passing of your Dad. His legacy will live on through all of you and it’s comforting to know that he is with the Lord for eternity. Steve & Andrea Byrne
Remembering Billy:
– a big, good-looking kid with a great smile and whose laugh was unrestrained and infectious – never missed a chance to throw every baby he saw into the air – said Debby had coal miner hands – preached water conservation before it was a cause and told us how to take a shower – surprised the family one Christmas by arranging military hops from his military and showing up without notice – drove a Dentyne colored Edsel (the chick magnet) and always carried a rock hammer and tools in the trunk – brought a huge inner tube to the beach for us to play in and loved his work and family.
Brent & Blake – Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. Knowing both of you, I know he was an amazing man. You will be in my prayers.
