TEA, SD – Bobby L. Hall, 85, of Tea and formerly of Seneca, SD, passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 14, 2023, at Sanford Ava’s Hospice House, Sioux Falls. His loving family was by his side.
A memorial service will be 1:30 p.m., Friday, December 1, 2023, at Luce Funeral Home, Gettysburg, with Pastor Jeff Adel presiding. Burial will follow in Oakland Cemetery, Seneca, with military honors.
Bobby L. Hall was born June 21, 1938, to Lloyd and Allyce (Blum) Hall. He lived his young life on a farm with his four siblings: Hollis, Raylene (Geist), Sherry (Witte), and Lynn (Marks-Surdyk), along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends nearby.
Bobby met Mary G. “Sue” Woodward at the Faulkton VFW on New Year’s Eve in 1969. They instantly knew this was meant to be and married six months later, June 20, 1970. Bobby’s love for the family farm allowed the couple to begin their lives together there, and this is where they welcomed their two children Melissa (Riggs) and Wymond. Bobby was forever proud of his children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild.
Bobby had an enormous heart and wonderful sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and patient. He was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all his life experiences: schoolteacher, US Army radio-teletype operations, farmer and rancher, and customer service agent. Bobby always tried to help others.
He will be remembered for his kind heart and keen ear, which he shared with his friends and family. He truly loved and cared for each of them. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity, strength, and love for his family and those who went before him. He will be missed dearly.
Bobby will be reunited in heaven with his parents, Lloyd and Allyce, and sisters, Raylene and Lynn.
“The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much.” Robert Louis Stevenson
