Tsgt. Roy Junior Hall, Usaf (Ret.)

A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, TSgt. Roy Junior Hall, USAF (Ret.) joined his Lord and Savior in Heaven on Wednesday, October 27, 2021. He was 84 years old.

The son of the late Haden and Alma Hall, Roy was born on July 22, 1937, in Wayland, Kentucky. A proud veteran, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Subsequently, he transferred to the United States Air Force where he retired from in November of 1974. A skilled Aircraft Technician, Roy worked on the F-15 Eagles at Robins Air Force Base for 15 years.

In his spare time, Roy enjoyed fishing at his private pond at his home in Alabama, finding bargains (he could barter with the best of them), and tinkering with cars and trinkets. He was also an avid golfer and passed the love of the game down to his son, grandson, and great-granddaughter. A wise man, Roy was from the school of “hard-knocks.” He was mostly self-taught. Above all, Roy loved the Lord his God with all of his heart, soul, strength, and mind. A devoted member of Southside Baptist Church, Roy was a part of a home Bible study group. Roy believed in Jesus, provided for his family, and was a wonderful husband and daddy.

In addition to his parents, Roy was preceded in death by his first wife of 49 ½ years, Mearline Scarborough Hall; granddaughters, Michelle B. Grice and Hannah Brown; and sister, Patsy Ruth.

His memory will forever be treasured by his adoring wife of 17 years, Barbara “June” Hall of Warner Robins; children, Julie L. Bailey and Roy H. Hall (Kerry); stepchildren, Sam Davis, Dereida Brown, Lisa Scarborough, Bridget Kennedy; grandchildren, Robert L. Bailey, Jr., Heather H. Dean, Leah Scarborough, D’Leigh Bishop, Samuel Davis, Lacey Fox, Josi Gaston, Dallas Carpenter, Brett Kennedy, Tiffany Kennedy, and Lucas Brown; 23 great-grandchildren, sister, Nancy Holzmaker; his three beloved Poodles, “Princess, Jimbo, and Rosie” as well as a host of extended family members and friends.
