Stephen Hall Obituary
Prospect - Stephen Hyde Hall, 75, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 7th at his home in Prospect, Kentucky, surrounded by his loving family. Steve was born in Lancaster, Ohio on January 4, 1945 to Thomas and Elizabeth. In his childhood, Steve enjoyed playing many sports and forged lifelong friendships, and became an avid fan of Ohio State football.
Steve graduated from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, in 1967. He married Susan Dickinson in 1968, in a double wedding with her sister. Steve then went on to enlist in Officer Candidate School in the U.S. Army, where he graduated as a first lieutenant. He proudly led his unit in Vietnam from 1969-1970, where he earned the Air Medal, two bronze stars, and the Army Commendation Medal with a V.
Steve returned home from Vietnam, and then found his calling as an account executive with MGIC. He and Susan made homes in several states, making friends and memories along the way with their two children, Carrie and Mike. Steve retired from MGIC after 36 years. He spent 10 years as a volunteer with the VA, and devoted time to Dogs Helping Heroes. Steve loved golfing, working outside, and traveling with his family every summer.
Steve is survived by his wife of 52 years, Susan; his children, Carrie Ehrhard (Greg) and Mike (Gwin); his grandchildren, Kathryn, Nick, Jake, Anna Grace and Emily; his brothers, Tim (Lynn) and Jim (Mid); his sisters in law, Lynn (Dale) and Sarah (Scott); cherished family friend, Jim Palmer; and his beloved service dog, Scout.

Dear Susan & Family,
I am truly saddened by the news. My deepest sympathies on the loss of Steve. I had the pleasure of working with Steve when I hired him to represent MGIC in Indiana. At the time, Steve was a seasoned veteran with MGIC, which is what we needed in Indiana. Steve hit the ground running, and brought the best of MGIC to his new customers. He was a real sales professional, along with being a kind and considerate human being. He made a positive impact on his co-workers, having shared his experiences and talent with newer members of our team. He was truly an exemplary performer and one of the nicest and sincerest people you could ever meet. We are all better people because we had Steve Hall in our lives. May God bless your family and provide you comfort in these difficult days.

Steve Hall was a great friend and coworker. I met Steve when I was a loan officer in Indianapolis and he worked for MGIC. When I joined MGIC in 1999, I took the southern part of Steve’s territory. His customers and coworkers loved and respected Steve. He had a great sense of humor and a stellar character. Breaking my heart to know he is gone so soon.
