R.I.P. Richard, neighbor, friend. It was fun growing up with you just over our back fence. I have fond memories of our childhood together, neighboorhood football and baseball games, exploring Young's Lake, and building forts. Will see you again someday.

Remember Richard playing baseball with the Antioch Jets in Cub Scout baseball. This proceeded 3&2 baseball. Our fathers constructed the field just west of Antioch Grade school. We had guys like Mike Bosarth, deceased from agent orange Vietnam, Mike Cobb, Denny Schear, Terry Foster, just to name a few others. Richard was a good player and good guy.
He will be missed by a lot of us. God bless and keep Richard Hall.

I knew Rich from early on at the Overland Park Presbyterian Church and then in the Boy Scout Troop. We went to West together and then attended KU in the same fraternity house. He was always the same: a happy, hard worker who would do anything that needed to be done. A man who could be counted on.
One of his goals these past few years was to visit as many countries as possible. He and Linda were always on the move to one place more exotic than the one before. Their Christmas letters would leave you exhausted and sometimes in rhyme. I wonder how many countries were on his list?

When I think of Rich, I always think of what a gentleman he was! I bumped into him a couple of times in Pensacola when we both were stationed there. We will miss you Rich!
