Together, they have one daughter, Erin Hall. Ed loved the outdoors. He and Diana spent much of their time together hiking, boating and skiing. Every Tuesday and Thursday for over 20 years, Ed played racquetball with the "boys." His favorite place was on his boat with a beer in hand amongst his friends and family.

To The Hall Family -
Ed and I went to Valley Church and Beaverton High School together. I'm so sorry for all of your loss, and extend my sympathy and condolences. I wish I could have attended the memorial service ... I was able to go to Ed's Father and Mother's service at Valley. An interesting note that I did not know - we share the same birthday, 01/ 26/1955! How about that!
Sincerely, Jim Price ( from Ra II and Kon Tiki mariners group.)
