Robert Hall Obituary
He donated his body to science, and following a private service, his ashes will be scattered at sea.
Skip was born to the late Ray and Ethelyn Hall on Aug. 3, 1929, in Missoula, Mont. He graduated from Great Falls High School in 1947 and attended the University of Montana before joining the United States Navy in 1948.
He married Theresa "Terry" Hartman in 1952, and they lived together in Las Vegas, Nev., for the past 19 years.
Skip served 30 years in the U.S. Navy, rising through the enlisted ranks, and retired in 1978 at San Diego Naval Station with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Skip is survived by his wife, Terry; four children, Ray and Jeff of San Diego, Calif., Craig (COL. USAF) of Panama City, Fla., and Skip Jr. of Trenton, N.J.; and three grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to either the Nevada Cancer Institute (NCI) or Nathan Adelson Hospice which can be accessed at the following links, respectively: http://nevadacancerinstitute.org/ or http://NAH.org/
Skip is selflessly donating his body to science and following a private service his ashes will be scattered at sea.
For those who knew Skip well: "Address."

My family are members at TPC Summerlin and Skip was always a joy to see on the tee box. So charming and cheerful. I remember him always showing a great sensitivity to my son which makes a mother happy.
I know he has suffered with this illness and pray that he is finally at peace. Now my son can welcome him to a better place.

Terry and Family... I was so suprised to hear about Skip. So many memories of the Rancho Penasquitos days and softball and the kids growing up....I have been in your spot before losing David 8 years ago. It is never easy but knowing you had so many wonderful years does seem to help. All the best to you and your beautiful family. Would love to see you one day soon. Take and farewell to the the BIG Skipper!

Ray,
I was sorry to see that you lost your dad. I lost mine last year, and my mom the year before. It's been a rough couple years for my family. I remember running into you at the store years ago and you showed me the potatoe peeler you bought for your parents 50th anniversary, but you also were doing something special for them too. When I asked you when their anniversary was, you told me "August 23rd -- which just so happens to be my parents anniversay...same day, same yearI I always think of that every August 23rd! Anyway, just a little story I wanted to share. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I will never forget the rocky start that led to feeling like a member of your family, the day he sent the email discussing his decision I was beside myself. If only we had one more day to see him smile. My heart goes out to Tess & her family. Big hugs & prayers for strength & comfort in this sorrowful time. Much love, Melissa
