Ferrel J Hall age 93 passed away April 6, 2015.  He was born on March 2, 1922, in Hurricane, Utah to Lafayette and Bertha (Wood) Hall. Ferrel’s work gave him the opportunity to live and establish friendships all over Utah, Nevada and Arizona with Hurricane always being his home base. He served in the US Army during World War II.  After returning from the war he served an LDS mission to the Southern California Mission where he made many life long friends. Following his mission he married Verla Atkin on December 28, 1949, in the St. George Temple.  To this union eight children were born. Ferrel loved his chosen profession in construction.  And to make sure he had a close relationship with his family he found a way to involve them in his work.  It was very common to see Ferrel with some of his children (plus their friends) where ever he went.
