Paul Hale Obituary

Paul Roy Hale 1927-2011 The world is a lesser place today because our dad has left it. Paul Roy Hale entered mortality October 20, 1927. Eighty-three years, six months and two days later he left it, unwillingly. Even after becoming so ill, he knew his responsibility to our mother and did not want to leave her. Dad was a lifetime Idaho resident attending Hanna Elementary School and graduating from Marsing High School in 1945. Soon after, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve as his older brother had done. A few years later he met Elaine Myers, the love of his life, and they were married August 2, 1949 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. He worked at many professions from mining silver to law enforcement. He had many hobbies. The most interesting was the one he and mom did together-- collecting children. When all was said and done there were six sons and three daughters. Dad was preceded in death by his parents, his older brother and two younger sisters. He is survived by his wife Elaine, his children: Dennis, Rick, Larry, Karyl, Maureen, Jon, Bruce, Kevin and Melissa, eighteen grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren, his sister Detta and brother Melvin. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, April 28, 2011 at the Boise East LDS Stake Center, 2290 Warm Springs Ave. in Boise. A viewing will be held at the church from 10 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the services. The family wishes to thank the marvelous nursing staff at the Good Samaritan Society Boise Village, Hoeger House.

Memories and Condolences
for Paul Hale

Not sure what to say?





I am sorry to hear of his passing on. The last time I saw him was at a ward social not too long ago and we had a good time catching up on things. I remember also when in the trucking busines having to buy special trip permits for unusual loads. He always welcomed me and helped me a lot. We will miss you Paul. Lowell and Barbara Browning

Grandpa always indulged his grandchildren whims. Whether walking around the neighborhood, or going down to his workshop in the basement and teach basics of leather working. My regret today is that my children were unable to meet him. Today he is put in the ground at peace free of the pain that has filled his life. We love you grandpa.

My wife Pat and I send our sincere condolences to Elaine and her family at this special and difficult time. We have very fond memories of our family experiences together in the Boise and Boise East Stakes from 1966 to 1987. Ours and the Hale's children were also involved in many good things together.
