We have been invited by the family of Benjamin Edgar Hall, 78, to accompany him on his last ride from the Mortuary to the Cemetery and honor him for his service to our country, we would be honored to do so.
Benjamin Hall served in the US Navy from February 8, 1957 - June 16, 1960 active duty, and served in the reserves until February 7 1963. He was stationed in Hawaii and was involved in decommissioning the USS Flair, he was a fire techinician. At the time of his honorable discharge and his Rank was an E3.
After Benjamin left the Navy he was an engineering specialist. His hobbies were riding his Harley, genealogy, critiquing writers, music, playing the guitar and spending time with his family. He loved the sound of the Harleys and it's very meaningful to the family that the PGR will be there for him.
Ben is survived by his wife Joyce Hall.
