Hall Shultz, 83, passed away Wednesday, May 11, 2011, at Stuart Nursing and Restorative Care Center in Stuart, Fla. He was born in Skaneatles, N.Y. and lived in Bryn Mawr, Pa. He was a longtime summer resident of Beach Haven, where he was a member of the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club and the Episcopal Church of The Holy Innocence. Hall enjoyed a long and successful career in the field of human relations. Before retirement, he was a vice president of Acme Markets in Philadelphia, Pa. Prior to joining Acme Markets, he was a partner in Jewell, Shultz & Schaeffer -- a personnel and industrial relations firm in Manhattan, N.Y. He was the son of Searles G. Shultz and Dorothy H. Shultz of Skaneateles, N.Y. Hall was a graduate of Skaneateles High School, class of 1945 and a graduate of Hamilton College, class of 1951 where he was a member of Psi Upsilon. From 1945 to 1947, he served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany, where he achieved the rank of sergeant. A skilled writer and an avid reader, Hall amassed a vast amount of knowledge over his lifetime. He had a passion for the Sunday N.Y. Times crossword puzzles, which he completed systematically in ink each week. He was an avid sports fan who loved college football. He loyally attended his sons' sporting events at the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. Hall and his father, an alumnus of Cornell University, rarely missed a Cornell vs. Princeton or a Cornell vs. Penn football game. He faithfully followed the N.Y. Giants and Boston Red Sox. Hall was a great lover of dogs and he loved to travel, but most of all, he adored his family.
