Robbie Hall Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 15, 2025.
Robbie Keith Hall, age 73, of Woodruff, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on July 14, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. A man of quiet strength, sharp wit, and deep loyalty, Robbie lived a life defined by service, perseverance, and fierce devotion to those he loved.

Born on August 14, 1951, in Rensselaer, Indiana, Robbie was the son of Clifford Hall Jr. and Alta Hall. He proudly served in the United States Army as a Red Beret Pathfinder in the 82nd Airborne Division. He was a licensed pilot and loved the freedom of the air, often reflecting that he had jumped out of "52 perfectly good airplanes."

Following his service, Robbie worked as a quality control engineer in the plastics and metal finishing industries. He was known for his sharp mind, strong work ethic, and insistence on precision. Over the years, he mentored others and was deeply committed to supporting education and lifelong learning. He attended Purdue University and served on the business advisory board. Later in life, he became a certified Master Naturalist and Master Gardener through Clemson University, reflecting his enduring curiosity and love of the natural world.

Robbie is survived by his daughters, Dana Hall-Ragland (Steven Ragland) and Tracy Hall; his grandchildren, Madison Ragland and Kody Hall; his mother, Alta Hall; and many extended family members and close friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Clifford Hall Jr., and his brother, Daryl Hall.

Robbie faced his final illness with the same quiet resolve that defined his life. He asked for no fanfare or formal memorial service-just peace-and for his story to be remembered with honesty and love.

Military honors will be rendered in tribute to his service in a private ceremony.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Robbie's memory to the Greenville Humane Society, where he found his faithful friend, Wingnut.

A Man You Had to Know

For my Father...

He was a man you had to know
to truly see the way he showed
his pride, his hurt, his quiet grace-
the stories etched across his face.

He wore his past like worn-out boots,
his cap stitched tight with airborne roots.
A soldier´s steadiness in stride,
his silence deep, his shoulders wide.

He didn´t talk of feelings much,
but showed them in a gentle touch-
Wingnut waiting by his chair,
as birds flocked in with gentle care.

He loved the silence most of all,
the way the morning light would fall
across the porch, the trees, the land-
a cup of Pepsi in his hand.

He spoke of things he built and earned,
of lessons hard and pages turned.
You´d hear the war inside his voice-
not regret, but weathered choice.

He didn´t open up with ease.
His truths were guarded, like old keys.
But if he let you close enough,
you saw a man both strong and rough-

Yet soft beneath it all.

He lived with grit, and left the same-
no speeches, banners, none of that fame.
Just birds in flight, a quiet friend,
and one more walk that did not end.

And though he´s gone, the echoes stay-
in habits, feathers, things he´d say.
In cap and patch and weathered face,
in loyalty, in steady pace.

He was a man you had to know.
And if you knew, you´d understand-
he is still here, in this quiet land.
