Robert Henry Hall

Bob was born on December 5, 1924 to Robert Dewey Hall and Juanita Turner Hall in Kingsville, TX. He spent his childhood in Kingsville and San Antonio, TX. In early 1950, he met and married the love of his life, Geraldine McCollum, in San Antonio. They had their first child in 1951, Ruby Hall and a few years later moved to Tulsa, OK where their second child, Brenda Sue Hall was born, and Bob worked as a Salesman for Bama Pies. They then moved to Checotah, OK where they opened their first bakery, Mrs. Hall’s Donut Shop. In 1957, they moved to Fort Smith, and opened their second Mrs. Hall’s Donut Shop. In 1970, the couple added a third daughter, Crystal Renee Hall to their family. In 1972, the Hall’s opened the Robert Hall Hearing Aid Center and Bob retired from the Hearing Aid Center in 2000. Bob and Geraldine have been residents of Fort Smith for the last 53 years.

Bob was a kind and caring person and had more love than “the law allows” which was one of his favorite quotes. He was a great salesman and loved selling things “besides his wife or dogs” another of his favorite quotes!

Bob leaves behind his loving and devoted wife of more than sixty years, Geraldine Hall of the home; three daughters, Ruby Poole and her husband Charlie of Texarkana, TX., Brenda Hines and her husband Greg of Conway, AR., Crystal Jacobs and her husband Marc of Kennewick, WA; seven grandchildren, Tracy Poole of Texarkana, TX., Taylor Hines and Hallee Hines of Fort Smith, Lindsey Hines-Jackson of Conway, and Christopher Price, Brittney Price-Kuhlman and Blaze Jacobs of Kennewick, WA. He also leaves behind two great grandchildren and two other great grand children who are “on the way”. Bob will also be greatly missed by his loyal dogs, Lucky Georgie and Spanky Puppy.

When Bob entered into Heaven he was welcomed by his parents Robert D. Hall and Juanita Turner Hall, stepmother Ruby Hall, brother Jack Hall, sister Lydia Hall Cumpston, his favorite cousin Tommy Clemmons, and in-laws and good friends, Willie and G.L. Pilkington.

While we will miss our Husband, Daddy, and Papa beyond measure, we are thankful for the many happy memories that we are blessed to have shared with him.
