Bill Hall Obituary

Hall, Bill

Bill Hall a.k.a. "Mr. Wonderful" passed away on Friday, August 5, 2016. After serving his country in the U.S. Air Force, he served his community for 51 years in the optical business.

The Hall family â€" wife, Karen and daughter, Regan â€" would like to thank special friends Jim and Susan Washburn for all they have done over the years, but especially now. The outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and Moon Optical customers is a testament to how many lives he has touched over 74 years. It is a comfort to us as we grieve.

The Hall family would also like to thank Ed Muller. During Bill's intended transition to retirement, arrangements had been in place for Muller Optical to provide care to Moon Optical's customers. Ed graciously stepped in during this time of need to enact these plans immediately.

A celebration of "Mr. Wonderful's" life will take place at a later date. Please visit our online guestbook for Bill at

I just heard of Bill's passing. I am deeply sorry. He was a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of working for Bill several years ago. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. He was always happy and always treated each person that walked through the doors of Moon Optical feel like a close personal friend. Over the years since working for Bill, I meant to drop by to say hello...I wished I had...God bless you Bill.
God bless you Karen and Regan.

Bill was just the best person. What a loss to his family and to those of us who were lucky enough to know him. I always enjoyed going to Moon Optical, not just for eye care, but for Bill's great company. I never left there without a chuckle.

Karen, my condolences to you and your family. I loved Bill dearly as his customer for 30 years at Moon Optical. I went to see him today and found his precious shop closed. I heard of his passing and it has broken my heart so. You are in my prayers, as well as your daughter and Jake who he spoke so highly of.

Just learned of Bill's passing today and were stunned. We have both used Bill's wonderful service for 30 years. Bill was the kindest most knowledgeable and caring person we ever had the pleasure of dealing with in any type of business. Bill will be sorely missed by his many customers and friends. Rest in peace Bill.

We were very saddened to hear of Bill's sudden passing. He was very kind to us when we went to his shop for glasses. I've driven by that location since I was a teenager. How sad it will be to drive by and not see Moon Optical and be reminded that Bill has left us. We wish the best to his family.

Thank you Bill Hall for all your wonderful consideration and exceptional service to your
clients. Rick Simler, Barbara Kohl and Russell Selleck say not only will you and your business be missed but the delight you brought to one and all, that had the great fortune to know you. No pun intended, but your focus was on caring for the high quality and detail of service you provided to each of us. Bill Hall you are profoundly missed.

I was so sorry to learn of Bill's death. He has worked on my glasses for decades. I have a lot of issues that make getting glasses and lenses difficult. Throughout it all, Bill was always kind and patient, as well as so skilled. I actually looked forward to going to Moon Optical to have my glasses adjusted and be greeted by "Hey, kid - how is it going". During one visit, he told me how he met his wife. It was so clear that he adored her from the very beginning. I will miss our chats.

During my almost thirty years of teaching in Albuquerque, Bill Hall helped me many times with my glasses. Bill treated everybody with care and respect, taking as long as needed to provide the necessary service. Whether helping with a selection or making a simple adjustment, Bill was always the same gracious person.

After a major life trauma, I needed to buy a house. Bill happened to know of a prime lot that had just become available the day before. My mother was in Moon Optical, and he told her about it. Without Bill, I would never have known until all the good lots were gone. I lived in the townhouse I had built on that lot for 17 years. So Bill was a friend as well as an optician.

Please cherish all the wonderful memories you have of Bill and his very positive influence on others.
