Lt. Col. Van HALL Ret. US Air Force

Van HALL Obituary

HALL, Lt. Col. Van - Ret. US Air Force 3-7-1935 - 12-14- 2015

"I did not die...I am the wind that lifts your heavy wings when the throttles are moved to go.

I am the steady hand that guides you home through the ice and snow.

I have gone with my God to that big hangar in the sky to fly the newest of fighters through the clearest of skies."

Remembering my husband Van, aka Sky King, a pilot, a warrior, a guardsman, with a smile and a tear.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
